3 Derby Crescent, Caulfield EastVIC

Designed by Architects EAT and recently featured in multiple publications including House & Garden, this award-winning 4 bedroom 3.5 bathroom Edwardian residence sits on 820sqm of spectacular estate like gardens. Called 'Carpenter's Square House' due to the L-shaped addition that hugs the existing house, this bespoke home retains some of its majestic rooms while being architecturally transformed to blend striking design elements with its original turn of the century grandeur. Making quite a lasting impression, the original Edwardian residence has been painstakingly restored to showcase the wrap-around tessellated tiled verandah, spectacular hand-painted, gold-leaf pressed-metal ceilings, picture rails, leadlights, white washed Baltic pine floorboards in the gorgeous receiving room (OFP), splendid sitting room and magnificent guest bedroom (OFP). A grey subway-tiled stone bathroom and the fitted family laundry then connect the home into another dimension. Thermal mass heating is created by the use of brick floors and quarter walls that are featured in the amazing open plan living and dining area with its concave Victorian Ash timber battened ceiling, gas log fire and picture windows looking into a Zen garden and the sublime heated pool. The impressive stone kitchen (Asko appliances, wine fridge) has a curved wall that conceals the walk in pantry with fitted cellar. A brick bridge leads into the luxurious main bedroom with its study area, spectacular dressing room and impressive brick-floored ensuite with sumptuous bath and automated external louvre blind to create privacy or let the Zen garden inside. With views of the straight of Caulfield Racecourse, upstairs features 2 attic style bedrooms (fitted BIRs & desks) and a stylish bathroom. An undercover alfresco patio sits next to the pool and is serviced by a powder room. Finely crafted and materially rich, this bespoke masterpiece is appointed with Daikin ducted heating/air conditioning, double glazing, wool carpets, a garden shed, auto gate to a double carport plus a second driveway for caravan/boat parking. Walk to Caulfield Station.
