15 Edgevale Road, Kew, Vic 3101

Behind its elegantly restrained period style façade, a meticulously crafted contemporary vision unfolds in this stunning family domain where three bedrooms, three ensuites and a home office are complemented by an easy-care alfresco flow to satisfy the most discerning of entertainers. Crafted as the builder’s own passion project and distinguished by the designer’s own interiors, the home makes an uncompromising statement in excellence, design and functionality, all in a legitimately blue-ribbon position right on the cusp of Glenferrie Road and the private school belt.

Set under soaring three metre ceilings and wrapped in double-glazing with engineered Oak under foot, the home is unashamedly contemporary as it culminates in an open-plan rear that steps outside through huge glass sliding doors. Here, a partially undercover and fully-decked backyard is suited to stylish entertaining and is effortless to maintain. Anchored by a kitchen where the emphasis is undoubtedly on gourmet food preparation, the open-plan is defined by an attention-to detail that includes built-in banquet seating, stone benches with waterfall edges, Bosch cooking – including an induction cooktop – and a Butler’s Pantry, right through to the use of exclusive Faucet Strommen aged brass tapware. The details matter.

A considered design ensures the home can flex as the needs of the family evolve, most notably by offering parents the ability to choose between an upstairs or downstairs primary suite – each with extensive walk-in or built-in robes and fully-tiled designer ensuites with double basin vanities and heated towel rails. Every space is brilliantly utilised in this home that also features upstairs living, a dual-workstation study, a securely gated carport with secure driveway parking for a second vehicle and a powder room, as well as central and zoned reverse cycle heating / air conditioning and security that includes keyless fingerprint entry and CCTV surveillance.

Start your day with a coffee on Glenferrie Road and finish it with a quality meal on the same strip, all of which is just around the corner from this premier family pocket that allows your children to walk to a diversity of Melbourne’s finest private schools, plus you have Kew Junction just moments away and plenty of trams both city-bound and along Glenferrie Road.
