Canterbury's prestigious Golden Mile can lay claim to some of Melbourne's finest properties and standing at the upper echelon on a north-facing rear 1174sq. metre allotment (approx.) is this magnificent custom-built residence. The collective genius of bespoke home designer David Liddiard, interior designer Justin Bishop and garden doyen Paul Bangay has created a masterpiece of timeless European style for luxurious family living and lavish alfresco entertaining set amidst beautifully manicured gardens.

The culmination of years of preparation and planning, the result is nothing short of breathtaking both inside and out as this substantial timeless classic featured in numerous magazines showcases a level of high-end perfection that is without a doubt world class. High walls, cropped hedges and dual-gate return driveway reveal the commanding presence of this five bedroom and study home with a lift in a fully-secure setting enhanced by CCTV surveillance, alarm system and video intercom.

A grand staircase sweeping up to a spectacular crystal chandelier introduces an impeccably curated interior on European oak parquetry flooring with the wide hallway entrance extending to a superb executive study (storage/print rooms), interconnected sitting and dining rooms, a powder room and a cloakroom. Every element is carefully considered with textures, surfaces and features all of a superior quality complementing a functional family layout incorporating copious fitted storage.

The basement level is a place of leisure and pleasure with its dedicated gym, bathroom, connoisseur's barrel-ceiling cellar and a fully-equipped home theatre with rich velvet panelling.
