1 Cottonwood Court, TemplestoweVIC

Grand in appearance, stately in size and lavish in its luxury, don’t just dream about a high-end lifestyle – experience it in spectacular fashion with this exquisite 136-square (approx.) tri-level residence in one of Templestowe’s premier pockets. Set on a sprawling acre (approx.) allotment with a desirable North-South orientation and fully landscaped grounds designed by landscape architect, Mark McWha, this unique lifestyle property sets a high benchmark in terms of quality, class and scale.

Built to exacting standards, the home’s construction is second to none, with heavy reinforced concrete floors, solid brick walls to the four-car garage (includes boiler room, proposed wine cellar, workshop area and pool pump room) and brick veneer top floor. Appointments of the highest order are also omnipresent, evident in the presence of Italian granite tiling that frame the high quality wool carpets, marble floors and walls of the luxurious bathrooms, meticulously sculptured ceilings, fully-glazed 10mm grey laminated toughened glass, eight zoned Carrier Nova industrial air-conditioners and hydronic heating. And there’s so much more…

Spanning across three levels with five bedrooms (which includes guest accommodation quarters), multiple outdoor entertaining areas, swathes of glass windows and sliding doors that promote visual and physical interaction with the scenic surrounds and a breathtaking indoor swimming pool area that integrates with three of the home’s six living zones, this is the pinnacle of prestigious Templestowe living.
A quartz-tiled driveway is your first indication of the elevated level of quality associated with this proud residence. Designed for maximum wow factor, your entry into the home is therefore one of profound impact, where double doors open onto a wide entry with a glimpse of a Japanese garden in the background and stunning formal areas with concealed lighting on either side. Size and space is also a feature enjoyed by the family living, styled with a wood combustion fireplace, built-in cabinetry and peaceful garden views.
An attention-grabbing 6.4m-long feature island bench is the face of the gourmet kitchen, which functions adeptly as a communal hub given its central positioning between the family living, separate Billiards room and show-stopping pool area, housed beneath a towering pitched glass ceiling (with eight Lenier Motor electrically operated roof windows) and complete with a fully-tiled swimming pool and spa and bi-fold doors for indoor-outdoor options.

An additional retreat at the top of the expansive layout can easily function as a home gym, yet with close proximity to a fully-tiled bathroom and guest accommodation (with ensuite), it’s also a practical living zone for the extended family. Replete with luxury and space, the upstairs Master bedroom appears straight out of a five-star hotel, with generous walk-in robes, private balcony and glamorous ensuite with spa bath and frameless shower. A central sitting room with an outlook across the pool and kitchen area also acts as a buffer between the Master bedroom and children’s quarters, comprising three spacious bedrooms serviced by a large family bathroom.

The exterior of the home is equally grand and luxurious as the interior, with a substantial-sized rear entertaining area designed with Merbau timber decking, gas mains connection and a wood-fire pizza oven. An enclosed full-size North-South tennis court with floodlighting completes the resort feel to this private family sanctuary. Standing in a class of its own, this remarkable residence is located on the footsteps of the Yarra Valley Parklands and only minutes away from trendy Templestowe Village, The Pines Shopping Centre and well-regarded local schools.
