'Quarry House' - A Family Masterpiece of Architectural Luxury by the Bay

'Quarry House' is a secluded beachside masterpiece that redefines family luxury on an epic scale. Meticulously designed to respond to its sundrenched corner site with vast indoor and outdoor zones coming together as one in spectacular fashion. Expansive walls of movable glass, a shimmering slimline lap pool and lush landscaped gardens enhance the overall effect.

Finnis Architects have created a visionary tri-level residence in a quiet cul-de-sac position sought for its easy access to the city and leading schools with the beachfront, walking/cycling trails, oval, cafes and station on your doorstep. Diamond-cut Port Fairy Bluestone has been used on both the interior and exterior of the house in a contemporary nod to the area's fine Victorian heritage.

Ultra-modern yet effortlessly elegant, the property feels established and at home within its exclusive surroundings. Upon entry you will be swept away by its privacy and poise with artfully conceived spaces flowing from inside to out. Handcrafted French oak ceiling battens, wall panels and joinery warm up a minimalist aesthetic, while full-height custom-steel pivot doors, bi-folds and louvre windows catch the sea breeze for superior air flow.

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen precinct brings the family together, while a soaring void over the pendant lit dining space channels light throughout the home and the bedrooms above. Heated polished concrete sweeps through light and airy communal zones on the ground floor offering a choice of an intimate sitting room or expansive primary living both warmed by sleek gas fireplaces.

A mecca for entertaining, an epicurean kitchen is adorned with thick, luxe Carrara Marble and custom details. Host's will appreciate a full complement of integrated Miele appliances, dual Copper Qasair cylinder rangehoods and a full scullery as well as an outdoor BBQ kitchen. Dine indoors or al fresco beneath a louvre shaded pergola by the heated pool and spa. After a long lunch in the sun take things down to the basement 'man cave' with its glass-display wine room, bar, home cinema and separate powder room.

Exceptionally accommodating with five bedrooms each with custom fitted storage and hotel-style en suites, the ground level suite is ideal for guests or even a yoga/wellness studio opening to leafy gardens. A private parents' retreat offers a brilliant reading room with a concealed study and gas fireplace. This breathtaking, glass-wrapped domain also features a dressing room, built-in robes and a sublime twin en suite flaunting a decadent Apaiser 'Haven' freestanding bathtub.

Seamlessly linked by a passenger lift or beautifully crafted stairwells, the attention to detail in this state-of-the-art, fully automated home is something to behold. From bay glimpses and auto-external shutters on the west facing bedrooms to the statement guest powder room or the up to 8-car basement with gym option - every requirement has been considered for family life to flow harmoniously. Featured in countless magazines and coveted by many, this is a rare opportunity to dive straight into the lap of luxury without the endless worries and time lost whilst undertaking a new build of your own.
