21 Glen Shian Crescent, Mount ElizaVIC

Few properties are deserving of the moniker: perfect. From the garden designed for delight to the home itself which is a study in architectural precision, every detail has been considered for its beauty, elegance and studied appeal. Each element in the garden has been selected with the bold confidence of a seasoned landscape artiste, whilst the house is oriented to capture breathtaking vistas from every outlook. A Japanese courtyard garden understates the considered deployment of dynamic layers, where water, stone and seasonal bursts of colour are blended to create a captivating mélange of intense detail. The garden continues with two rooms (either easily accommodating a pool) as well as a greenhouse hidden in the utility yard. Meanwhile, the surprises are plentiful inside, where white oak floors and cabinetry throughout are punctuated by travertine. The kitchen boasts a full complement of Miele appliances, including a coffee machine, and a rare marble on benchtops continuing into the prep-pantry. A breakfast table fits elegantly into a curved wall of glass for picture views of koi in the courtyard pond and a chill-out room at the opposite end of the kitchen echoes the curve of the window. Floating stairs to both the sizeable bedroom wing and the generous formal dining and lounge follow the contours of the property creating a harmonious balance of aspect and function. The formal living hides the home’s most impressive surprise: a private water view stretching across Port Philip Bay towards the city lights with an outdoor kitchen and heating for year-round enjoyment. With the beach a few hundred meters away and The Village a short drive, there’s more than enough to indulge the active body and mind amidst this prestigious property embracing a Golden Mile dream lifestyle.
