4 Hazel Crescent

Superbly designed to celebrate astonishing views of the Yarra Ranges, this extraordinary four bedroom residence was conceived through the vision of both architect and client. A striking architect designed rebuild, "Hide and Seek" offers a rare opportunity to secure a truly private one-of-a-kind lifestyle property or, having operated as sumptuous B&B accommodation, an indulgent weekender, where every space is shaped by the magnificence of the landscape beyond. A dramatic cantilevered form announces the home, while rich, moody interiors of steel, concrete, timber and copper details create a quiet backdrop for the ever changing vista. Double glazing frames a sweeping panorama across Mt Riddell, Mt Juliet, Mt St Leonards, and the treetops of Healesville including Maroondah Dam and Boat O'Craigo, visible from the combined kitchen, dining and living zone, versatile bedroom/home office or potential second living zone, and magnificent upstairs master suite. Entertaining is elevated to an art form on expansive decks extending from the upper and lower levels, and solar heated infinity pool and outdoor kitchen, inviting long summer afternoons while children play or guests gather for sunset drinks. Gorgeous birdlife includes soaring wedge-tailed eagles, azure kingfishers and black cockatoos along with captivating sightings of other small birds, sugar gliders and blue tongue lizards. A sophisticated industrial edge is expressed to perfection in the living, dining and kitchen and repeated throughout. The Ilve and Meile equipped kitchen is both sculptural and supremely functional, anchored by C-section steel edged concrete work surfaces, 900mm freestanding stove, dishwasher and the richness of black cabinetry concealing more than generous storage. In fact, the home offers an abundance of custom storage options. Exposed timber beams and wormy chestnut floorboards are complemented by beautiful timber window frames, with ironbark employed on exterior posts and balustrading. Steel details include a mantelpiece for a Euro heater wood fire, keeping the home snug in the cooler months, along with separate heating/air conditioning on each floor. Hotel style bathrooms serve three bedrooms occupying one wing of the home, and the indulgent master suite, privately positioned beneath a soaring raked ceiling on the upper level. Here, the panoramic view is at its most magnificent, stealing the show, and framed by a wall of glazing complemented by a private deck. Completing the scene, thoughtful design allows contemplation of the view while luxuriating in your morning shower with an indulgent ensuite bathroom and fitted walk in robe. Walking distance to a range of shopping and eateries and minutes from the Yarra Valley's famed wineries, the home's sleek architectural expression honours its peaceful native and rockwork landscaped setting with little passing traffic and (Melbourne Water) woodland at the rear. Thoughtful inclusions comprise an accessible walkway to the upper level from a parking court and three bay car accommodation with workshop/storeroom, additional shed for wood and gardening equipment and secure electric gated access.
