Upstairs the generous main suite includes a super-sized bedroom, room-sized walk-in wardrobe and a luxe marble en suite. Two additional en suite bedrooms also have walk-in robes.
Integrated, innovative passive environmental design enhances living comfort for the home’s residents in the local climate.


The 562-square metre home’s design optimises the site’s slope and northern orientation and features traditional French provincial proportions and symmetry with elegant pairs of French casement windows, dormer attic windows and a Spanish natural slate-tiled mansard roof. The grand colonnaded entrance uses bluestone paving underfoot and supports a customised wrought iron balcony above.
Impeccable craftsmanship interprets historical detailing and refinements throughout that include marble fireplaces, custom-made wrought iron balustrades and a huge leadlight roof dome that illuminates the central stair.
On ground level the spacious guest suite opens to a private courtyard and the wine cellar and large laundry connect to the garage and butler’s pantry. French doors reveal a vast kitchen, living and entertainment zone where a sweeping curved window defines dining for 14 guests. The European kitchen conceals a butler’s pantry with work spaces, appliances and storage. The family living zone includes a separate media room and a European-styled outdoor room.
