THE DEAL Without any question the most opulent, lavish, and extravagant residence Moonee Ponds has ever seen, 'Edenhope' channels the finest craftsmanship, artisan intricacy, masses of usable space, and rich character to be statement sanctuary on Melbourne's inner-fringe. A spectacle to behold with its corner stance, grand gates, signature palm tree, tessellated-tile return veranda, and array of vibrant plant life in full, colourful blossom, the solid-bluestone residence makes an impression to never be forgotten. A palatial entrance gallery showcases a gold Calacatta Marble floor, tall pillars, bespoke plasterwork, feature chandeliers, and an eighteen-foot-high ceiling hand-painted to replicate Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Front piano and formal lounge rooms are ideal for greeting guests as they arrive, complementing a grand dining room, rumpus area with an events-grade bar, fully fitted cinema room, and both main and commercial kitchens equipped to cater for the largest gatherings. Truly hitting its stride under blue skies, a north-facing backyard sees pizza ovens, a barbecue kitchen, and complete privacy make hosting friends and family a breeze, while an enclosed wellness retreat with a glass roof and marble-sculpture wall features its own bathroom, sauna, spa, and pools. Embracing the home's rich history, an iron spiral staircase reaches a light-filled original tower with sweeping views over leafy surrounds, joined in the master suite by bay and bow windows, a beauty corner, dressing room, and bathroom with a basin and clawfoot bath cast from single pieces of marble. Guest and third bedrooms are served by walk-in robes and ensuites, accompanied by a luxe central bathroom, sizeable fourth bedroom, and separate garden studio ensuring ample room for multi-generational living. Other highlights include comprehensive heating and cooling, sausage and wine cellars, an oversized laundry, security, authentic furniture and hardware, custom joinery, two garages holding up to fifteen cars, and a dual-entry main driveway. As convenient as could be, it's only moments to Puckle Street's cuisine, shopping, and nightlife, ever-vibrant Union Road, elite private schools in across Moonee Valley and the inner-city, Moonee Ponds and Ascot Vale Stations, and CityLink for quick commutes across town, while up the road from the picturesque Maribyrnong River. SEALS THE DEAL More than historic, Edenhope stands proudly as one-of-a-kind, representing true artistry and commitment to craft.
