1 Darling Street

THE DEAL Owning an address that's one of Moonee Ponds' most sought-after, this brand-new showstopper from industry leaders Code Black surpasses all standards, pushes design boundaries, uses the finest materials, and redefines what luxury can look like. Past hit-and-miss brickwork, tall security gates, and a front garden with shades of the mediterranean, interiors are a dream to wake up in, spend time in, and enjoy as a private sanctuary away from the outside world. Northern sun dances off an in-ground pool to bring a sense of serenity to a vast main section, with living and dining sections spilling into a child-friendly backyard and alfresco setting boasting a full outdoor kitchen. A wealth of bespoke joinery, integrated fridge/freezer, double DishDrawer, pair of ovens, and gas cooktop span the kitchen's front and butler's areas, while tucked away at rear, a quiet retreat with its own bar, stone credenza, and warm tones offers the perfect space to unwind. Designed with day-to-day function in mind, a guest room with its own walk-in robe and luxe ensuite enables one-level living, complementing a sensational upper master with a skylit dressing room, stone-top beauty station, dual-basin ensuite, high-raked ceiling, and feature window framing leafy outlooks. Two further bedrooms are well-served by robes and a lavish bathroom with a soaker bath, while other highlights include a stone-top study area, up and downstairs powder rooms, plush carpets, engineered oak floorboards, zoned heating/cooling, a gas-log fire, pool-serving shower, security system, full-size laundry, extra driveway parking, and a double garage. Right by Darling Street Espresso, Moonee Ponds West Primary, the local playground, and trams bound for Puckle Street, Highpoint, and the city centre, it's only a short stroll to elite schools in PEGS, Lowther Hall, and St Columba's, Union Road shopping, cuisine, and nightlife, Fairbairn Park to let the dog run free, and the Maribyrnong River for a daily escape to nature. SEALS THE DEAL Full-height doors and windows, sleek wall curves, towering ceilings, high-grade stone, and a palette deserving of its own Vogue feature.
