Thoughtfully designed with both comfort and sustainability in mind, the home presents a rare opportunity to secure a premium family property with exceptionally low ongoing living costs. Setting itself apart from many homes in the luxury market, the property has been extensively equipped for energy-conscious living without compromising on quality or convenience. A substantial 15kW solar system, 10kW battery storage, 3-phase power and evacuated tube solar hot water system work together to create an incredibly efficient home environment, with the current owners enjoying minimal monthly electricity expenses despite substantial everyday usage. Taking full advantage of its elevated setting, the upper-level entertaining domain showcases sweeping views across the surrounding greenery of Settlers Run through to the Dandenong Ranges and Melbourne CBD skyline.

Inside, the home immediately impresses with its warm contemporary finishes and expansive proportions. Rich Tasmanian Oak flooring spans the upper level, complementing the light-filled open-plan living and dining zone where triple stacker doors create seamless indoor-outdoor integration. Centrally positioned, the designer kitchen is beautifully appointed with stone benchtops, quality appliances, abundant cabinetry and a large island bench that anchors the space with both practicality and style. Accommodation throughout the home has been finished with exceptional attention to detail. The oversized master suite offers a luxurious private retreat, complete with a walk-in robe and an elegantly appointed ensuite featuring full-height tiling, a statement marble feature wall, double oak vanity and an oversized frameless shower fitted with twin rainheads. The remaining bathrooms continue the same aesthetic, enhanced by premium fittings, timber accents and a separate powder room for added convenience. A dedicated theatre room has been purpose-built for immersive movie nights, fully blacked-out and acoustically insulated to create a true cinematic atmosphere. The lower level further enhances the home's versatility and functionality. A spacious study zone with custom cabinetry and built-in workstation provides an ideal home office setup, while the extraordinary garage and workshop space is a standout feature in its own right. Measuring approximately 9m x 12m with soaring 4m ceilings, the space easily accommodates multiple vehicles, workshop facilities, hobby storage or even a future car hoist. Accessed via an oversized timber-look sectional door with excellent clearance for larger vehicles, the garage also offers rear roller door access to a concreted utility area and direct connection to an expansive Merbau entertaining deck and landscaped rear yard. Every element of the home has been carefully curated to combine visual appeal with long-term practicality, from the striking pivot entry door and wrap-around Merbau veranda to the grand oak staircase with glass balustrading and statement lighting.
