THE DEAL

In a prized Moonee Ponds pocket skirting the creek, this bespoke, brand-new residence represents the finest in contemporary style with amenity, flexibility, and practicality perfect for family life.

Enjoying its own corner parcel with no owners corporation or shared land, the home’s striking stance preludes an interior that’s both elegant and well-thought-out. The plan’s focal point, an expansive living/dining area spills into a low-maintenance yard, with spaces combining to prove exceptional for year-round entertaining. A gourmet kitchen takes hospitality prowess to another level, with sleek-yet-durable marble surfaces accompanied by upmarket Bosch appliances, a plumbed fridge cavity, extensive cabinetry, and a waterfall island tailor-made for casual meals.

Centring around an oversized retreat ideal as an extra living area, teenager’s escape, or multi-user workspace, three second- storey bedrooms ensure ample room for families and professionals alike, serviced by walk-in and built-in robes, a luxe master

ensuite, and lavish main bathroom with soaker tub. With highlights including wide-board oak floors, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a shed, downstairs powder room, full-size laundry, remote-controlled garage, and additional driveway space, the home’s location is second-to-none.

Calm while convenient, it’s just footsteps to Il Caminetto for an award-winning pizza, Convoy for a first-rate coffee, and Queens Park for a picnic in the sun, stroll by the lake, or swim in the outdoor pool, while close to respected schools, the Flinders Street-bound 59 tram, CityLink, Moonee Valley Racecourse, Ormond Park sporting fields, and the day-and-night buzz of Mt Alexander Road and Puckle Street.

SEALS THE DEAL

A cathedral ceiling creates a sublime feeling of open space and light-splashed airiness, with a full-height feature window framing views of neighbouring greenery and the city skyline.
