16 Heather Avenue

THE DEAL Occupying a prominent corner to two premier avenues, this bespoke masterpiece spares no expense, offers a wealth of family-friendly space, and promotes a calibre of luxury that far surpasses all standards and expectations. A triple garage and electric-gated driveway for two more cars are quick to separate the home from all others, with façades of Island bricks and concrete render teasing the level of specification continued beyond. A wide hallway introduces a front lounge, steps through a stunning 6m void, and reaches a back section with wonderful natural light, sheer curtains, cedar accents, and a gas fireplace. The kitchen is a sensation for the enthusiastic cook with its butler's pantry, abundance of storage, entertainer's island, and Miele appliances, while stacker doors reveal a northern backyard with outdoor kitchen provisions, total privacy, and a heated mineral feature pool. Flexible by design, a large study doubles as an extra bedroom, joined on the ground level by two kids' rooms with mirrored robes and workstations, a luxe central bathroom with a soaker bath, and a first-class master with its own ensuite and walk-in robe. Rare at its accessible price, thermally broken windows headline a long list of further highlights such as 15kW solar energy, three-phase power, profuse storage, camera/alarm security, 6 separate heating/cooling units, solar and electric-pump pool heating, electric blinds, a lower laundry and powder room, garage sink and storeroom, and Surrey Street crossover for backyard boat parking. Seconds to Pascoe Vale North Primary while also zoned for prestigious Strathmore Secondary College, it's only footsteps to the shops and world-class coffee across Sussex and Derby Streets, various parks and walking paths, and Sydney Road buses, while close to Coburg North Village shopping, Merlynston Station, and CityLink. SEALS THE DEAL Truly unlike anything else, a separately accessed second storey makes multi-generational living effortless with its large bedroom and bathroom, living/dining area, Miele kitchen/laundry, sizeable storeroom, and covered terrace framing sweeping vistas.
