23 Banool Road, Balwyn, Vic 3103

A dramatic medley of structural curves and angles sits in harmony with towering ceilings and floor-to-ceiling double glazing. Everyone who steps over the threshold of this unique architect-designed jewel will be mesmerised by its beauty. Behind a bold façade of dark metal cladding and stone-look panelling, three impeccably finished levels deliver outstanding scale, craftsmanship and lifestyle.

Marvel at the intricacy of the custom-made chandeliers, the backlit warmth of translucent luxury stone and a floating staircase with large north-facing windows. Day-long natural light streams in through windows facing east, north and west. A vast six-bedroom, study, four-bathroom and two-powder-room configuration is balanced by exceptional living zones for hosting or simply relaxing. Serenity is assured in the front lounge room.

At the heart of the home, a double-height void, star-gazing glass ceiling and statement chandeliers create exceptional ambience over the open-plan dining and family room. The gourmet kitchen is defined by a backlit island, full-height fluted cabinetry and a window splashback to the garden. It is equipped with PITT gas burners, a Wolf 4-in-1 oven, a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer and a wine fridge, and is complemented by a second kitchen/butler's pantry.

A double-sliding door and bi-folds connect the open-plan living to the fully decked alfresco. Outside, enjoy a sunken conversation fire pit with built-in seating, a six-person sauna and a covered outdoor kitchen. A serene meditation garden with sunny north-facing seating complements the show-stopping interior.

Upstairs, the spectacular main bedroom features his and hers dressing rooms and a deep private balcony. Its dual-vanity ensuite has a circular fluted bath, emerald stone vanity and floor-to-ceiling tiling. All six bedrooms have ensuite access, and the bathrooms are dressed in Villeroy & Boch bathroomware. A convenient ground-floor guest suite suits extended family or visitors.

Invite friends downstairs for a drink from the commercial-style bar or premium wine cellar. Then settle in for a movie in the fully equipped theatre, with its shimmering star-lit ceiling, Bowers & Wilkins sound system and Sony laser projector. Multi-zoned central heating and air-conditioning keeps the home comfortable year-round. The basement garage has removable tiling and hexagonal lighting, and parks six cars.

Moments from Beckett Park and Maranoa Gardens, the home is close to the Whitehorse Road shopping precinct, including Woolworths, cafés and banks. The Balwyn East Shopping Centre on Belmore Road is also nearby. The 109 tram runs past Balwyn Village towards Kew and the city, with access to some of Melbourne's leading private schools. The home is zoned for Balwyn High School and Chatham Primary School and is close to Box Hill Central and the Box Hill hospital precinct.
