Exquisite in every respect and inspired by the Virginia landmark of the same name, Villa Monticello stakes its claim as one of inner-Melbourne's true masterpieces, bringing the spirit of opulence and height of luxury to affluent Old Strathmore. Simply a work of art from its ornate artifacts to its classical attributes and painstaking workmanship from nationally revered Grollo, the French Provincial estate is as remarkable as anything Moonee Valley has ever seen or offered. Exacting craftsmanship spans gold leaf-infused ceilings, designer carpets, and countless intricacies, with a curving staircase, grand columns, and 110 square-expanse (approx.) creating scale to bewilder and an impression to remember. Formal living and dining areas prelude an entertainment suite comfortably accommodating major gatherings, comprising both main and supplementary kitchens, family and meals areas, a rear lounge, and fully equipped, sound-treated cinema room. French doors transform the home into a haven for hospitality, revealing a north-facing main yard brilliant for garden parties, alfresco dining, and evenings by the fire. The perfect counterpart, a hedge-lined southern courtyard enjoys complete privacy and total tranquillity, centred around a Paul Vander Haar designed pool, spa, and waterfall for a resort atmosphere, woven into daily life. · 'Villa Monticello' a true Old Strathmore icon · 110sq (approx.) with elevator, built by Grollo · French Provincial, met by Art Deco & Mediterranean · Pool, spa, cinema & world-class accommodation · Security, imported fixtures, parking for 10+ cars A private elevator links a ground-floor bedroom, bathroom, and study to sumptuous accommodation above, headlined by a magnificent master suite with its own retreat, scenic terrace, extravagant ensuite, and expansive bedroom.
