Celebrating the distinctive design elements & character of the eighties while beautifully updated for modern family living, this exceptional double-storey Caulfield residence is the family home you’ve always dreamed of. Behind a securely enclosed front garden, a striking entrance hallway with a dramatic two-storey void, full-height glass windows, slate flooring & exposed brickwork creates a lasting first impression. From here, a series of generously proportioned formal & informal living & dining spaces enjoy leafy outlooks & offer the flexibility to accommodate every stage of family life. An inviting lounge makes a statement with soaring cathedral ceilings & large windows drawing in northerly light, while a wonderfully expansive, light filled open plan living & dining zone, enhanced by extensive built-in cabinetry, provides a fabulous space for everything from relaxed family gatherings to grand scale entertaining. Sliding doors extend the living space outdoors to a paved alfresco area & generously sized rear garden, surrounded by lush greenery. Adding to the appeal, a gourmet stone kitchen & butler’s pantry delivers an impressive suite of appliances (including an integrated fridge/freezer, two dishwashers, double oven & a convenient pot filler above the cooktop) dual sinks & abundant storage. The downstairs domain also delivers a recently updated bathroom, a dedicated study with built-in cabinetry & a separate retreat/second living space with built-in robes. Both the study & retreat offer the added versatility of being additional bedrooms if desired. Upstairs, the spacious accommodation continues with a well appointed main bedroom featuring built-in furniture, a television, walk-in robe & a stylish ensuite. Three additional generously sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes (two with custom fitted desks) are serviced by two central bathrooms. Other features include ducted heating/refrigerated cooling with separate systems servicing the upstairs & downstairs levels, security alarm & CCTV cameras, Sonos, video intercom entry, a separate laundry with storage & laundry chute, ducted vacuuming, extensive attic storage, automated outdoor smart lighting, irrigation, a double garage with mezzanine storage & additional off street parking for a third car behind auto front gates.
