18 The Parkway, Templestowe VIC 3106

SOLD BY WOODARDS MANNINGHAM

Architecturally designed and custom built to meticulous standards, this stately abode creates a majestic presence in bushland surrounds of The Domain estate, embodying the level of low maintenance executive living that many aspire to, but few achieve.

A grand portico and bespoke entry doors welcome you to an impressive entry foyer showcasing French Oak parquetry flooring, sweeping ceilings, and feature pendant lighting, all of which continue across the home’s well-considered floorplan. On the ground floor is a formal lounge/library/study for quiet endeavours, quite the contrast to the expansive rumpus/media/games room which can be found in close proximity, offering a burnt leather granite topped bar with a drink fridge and compact dish washer, as well as access to a dedicated study, and an environmentally controlled cellar/humidor. Undoubtedly though, the heart of the home is the substantial open-plan zone framed by expanses of glass that allow an abundance of light to flow freely. It comprises a large family room with a built-in wet bar, a generous dining area, and a showstopping kitchen that offers a seamless melding of enterprise and elegance, courtesy of stunning marble benchtops and splashbacks, stainless-steel European (Bertazzoni) appliances, shaker style cabinetry and a generous Butler’s pantry. Two sets of triple stacker doors allow easy access to the home’s enticing outdoor spaces, which include an extensive undercover patio with a wood-fired pizza oven BBQ and spit, ideal for alfresco entertaining, and a magnesium chlorinated, inground pool and spa, with solar and gas heating for year-round use. Framed by an elevated deck, waterfall urns, and established greenery that adds both visual appeal and privacy, it’s a place all members of the household will savour. The accommodation is completed by four oversized bedrooms and five fully tiled bathrooms across two levels, plus an upstairs living area that can be easily converted to a fifth oversized bedroom should it be required. Each of the bedrooms has a dedicated ensuite and a walk-in robe, with the master boasting a fully fitted dressing room, and the luxury of a freestanding soaker tub, a twin shower, and his and hers basins. The final bathroom is conveniently located to service the pool area.
