OBVIOUS

A suburb known for affluence and grandiosity meets an elevated standard in new residential builds, with humble brags left at the door.

First impressions are made at the double-fronted Victorian façade with a 9.4-meter frontage, inside they're solidified by the sky-high ceilings, cornices and details, and warm timber floorboards. Follow the skirting board lights through, passing the two front bedrooms — both beautifully built with Tasmanian Oak wardrobes, pure wool carpets, and soft sheers. The third bedroom includes access to the courtyard, opening the versatility to a home office, separate living, or formal dining.

Waterproofing is contained to one zone; the laundry maximises storage, a powder room larger than your average, and the main bathroom includes a two-person bath, double vanity, and porcelain accents.

The open-plan kitchen has granite benchtops and statement matte cabinetry. Dining and living blend into a comfortable communal zone, with views — and access — to the outdoors with a sun-blazing north orientation and custom storage for bikes and golf clubs. The entire home is temperature controlled with Daikin reverse cycle systems.

Heading upstairs to the master (or retreat) you’re greeted with floor-to-ceiling windows leading outside to a private balcony. Taking a turn, the walk-in-robe is designed to home every possession, illuminated by the in-built lighting within the cabinetry. An ensuite built for two, the double vanity and generous shower alleviate any foot-tapping.

Stepping outside your front door, Port Melbourne Beach is a short walk to your left and to your right, St Vincent Gardens is only a six-minute walk.

SEALS THE DEAL

We don’t know a more arduous process than finding an architect and builder to make a home, and we don’t know a more beautiful way to live than a home that has executed a design to the highest standards.
