Better than new, bigger than most and brilliantly located in the heart of it all, this is the benchmark in prestige family living. Representing a rare opportunity to secure one of Dingley Village's most substantial prestige homes, this five bedroom plus home-office, three bathroom luxury residence goes above and beyond on every level. Built on a breathtaking scale, this multi-zone, multi-generational design opens with a traditional formal lounge, flows into a spectacular family zone with separate areas to lounge and dine, and steps back to quiet media-lounge - cocooned in lush velvet block-out curtains. But the expansive family living doesn't end there. There's more outdoors in a poolside al fresco zone wrapped by stacking sliders and a bi-fold servery window... and an extra zone upstairs in a dedicated first-floor kids lounge! Immensely accommodating with a dedicated kids' wing centred on the upstairs lounge, there's room for all the generations with scope to reimagine the media-lounge and adjacent bathroom as ground-floor accommodation for in-laws, adult children or guests bathroom. But the most spectacular accommodation is to be found in a vast master-domain providing a virtual 'apartment' for parents to get away with room to retreat, a genuine double spa-ensuite (with dual-vanity and double shower) and dual his-and-hers walk-in robes. Appointed to the highest quality to match the home's grandest scale, this impressive home features a state-of-the-art kitchen with 900mm range and 'true' butler's pantry area (with sink), designer bathrooms upstairs and down, and a clever home-office positioned to work-from-home or provide a quiet space for homework. Beyond prestige with every practicality including a walk-in robe for each bedroom and additional storage in walk-in storerooms on each level, this climate-controlled home is optioned up with premium stone benchtops, roof-hung sheers plus bathroom plantation-shutters, porcelain-tiled floors. This outstanding home goes above and beyond outdoors too; with endless entertaining beside the solar-heated pool, an additional firepit area and plentiful parking including a 2.5 car auto-garage with room for the boats, bikes and bit that come with a prestige family life. There's even a vast 48-panel solar-system to help keep costs down. Directly opposite Club Lane (the 'secret' local path to Corrigan Oval and the new Neighbourhood Centre beyond. This benchmark home enjoys a landmark location just 500m from Dingley Primary School, the supermarket and shopping village. Positioned within the Parkdale Secondary College zone, it also offers easy access to leading schools including Haileybury (within walking distance), Lighthouse, Sirius, both Mentone Grammars, St Bede's and Kilbreda, with bus connections close by and all just minutes away.
