A magnificent family estate at a prestigious Scotch Hill address.

A masterpiece of Georgian-styled architecture at a prestigious Scotch Hill address, this modern-day mansion by Stonehaven is a picture of elegance and opulence. Nestled on an astonishing 1,190m2 (approx.) estate, the home matches four bedrooms and a home office with four immense living spaces, while a three-bedroom cottage nurtures independent living for grandparents or teenagers amid vast space and leafy outlooks.

Beyond a secure entry and pristine gardens, the stately façade melds beautifully within its landscape, welcoming guests to a grand interior enveloped by 3.3m high ceilings, full height windows, towering columns, and rich Oak floorboards. Traditional Georgian refinement and contemporary luxury exist in harmony through the exquisite interior design by Stuart Rattle, ensuring each space creates an uplifting setting for daily living and entertaining.

Capturing natural light and leafy outlooks, formal lounge and dining rooms lie adjacent to seamlessly regale guests, while upstairs, a home cinema keeps kids at bay for hours on end.

A huge open plan domain nurtures day-to-day living and family meals, enhanced by a wine cellar beneath the stairs, while peeling open through bi-folding doors into the gardens for vibrant indoor-outdoor celebrations. At its heart, the entertainer’s kitchen plays the perfect host, providing an impressive range of Gaggenau, V-Zug, and Miele appliances, including induction and gas cooktops within the kitchen and butler’s pantry, complemented by an endless array of storage topped in thick marble benches.

Showered in afternoon sun, the low-maintenance gardens provide a bluestone patio and barbecue kitchenette for sundrenched dining beside the sparkling swimming pool and spa, while a sprawling rooftop terrace hosts lively parties under the stars against a twinkling backdrop of the city skyline.

The accommodation is lavishly sized for personal retreat and study, providing walk-in robes and marble-draped ensuites to each bedroom. The master bedroom is the ultimate sanctuary for parents, pampered with a lavish dressing room and a twin-basin ensuite with a marble swathed bathtub, while a downstairs library provides secluded privacy for home-based work, complemented by an adjacent bathroom.

Beyond a tranquil fishpond and water feature, a three-bedroom cottage provides versatile options for the busy family, offering accommodation for grandparents or teens, or to supplement home-based business. A vast lounge and dining room is enriched by a fully appointed kitchen and casual meals room, integrating with a vine-draped patio for year-round alfresco enjoyment. Upstairs, the main bedroom is complemented by a spacious living room, a walk-in robe, and a fully tiled ensuite, while two further robed bedrooms downstairs are complemented by a chic bathroom, a laundry, and a third WC.

Providing an internal-access double garage to the main home and a double carport to the cottage from a shared driveway, each home enjoys absolute independence, each home cocooned in today’s favourite comforts. Situated mere footsteps from Fairview Park and the Yarra River’s recreation and cycling trails, this prestigious address pampers the family, set among elite public and private schools, sports clubs, and public transport, while minutes from Glenferrie Road’s tasty indulgences and shopping, the Monash arterial, and Melbourne’s lively central business district.
