8/2a Dunlop Avenue, KewVIC

A uniquely beautiful home in spellbinding Studley Park surrounds, this penthouse residence is a genuine statement of sophistication and style. Sympathetically echoing its leafy environs with natural timber and stone finishes, the home seamlessly integrates its 184m2 interior with an encircling 176m2 terrace to soak up its picturesque surrounds.

Matching Oak floorboards and veneer joinery with striking highlights of natural marble, the home mingles crowds of family and friends in an immense open plan layout. A gas fireplace and media cabinetry nurtures laidback relaxation, while the entertainer’s kitchen connects with the dining area and terrace for indoor-outdoor celebrations, backdropped with the city skyline.

Wrapped in marble, the kitchen serves culinary delights across a vast island breakfast bar, while easily catering with a full appointment of Gaggenau appliances and a Fisher Paykel integrated fridge and freezer, plus an integrated dish drawer and a Grand Cru wine fridge in the butler’s pantry.

The encompassing terrace flows uninterrupted from the glamorous interior, creating a perfect setting for sundrenched alfresco dining, enriched by a built-in barbecue and spectacular mountain vistas.

Three robed bedrooms are lavishly sized for private sanctuary, equalled by three fully lined porcelain bathrooms, and terrace access to each room for airy alfresco retreat, including a customised walk-in robe and a skylit ensuite with a deep soaker tub to the master suite.

Complete with a large fully-equipped laundry/drying room, and three adjacent carparks and a huge storeroom in the basement, the home is pampered in luxury, providing remote-controlled blinds, integrated heating and cooling to every room, keyless entry to the residence, and secure video intercom entry for guests.

Situated in Kew’s most sought-after locale, the home balances lifestyle and leisure, an easy wander to the Yarra River’s endless walking trails and recreation, Kew Junction’s mouth-watering eateries and boutique shopping, plus city-bound trams and buses, while surrounded by Melbourne’s elite public and private schools, Victoria Gardens shopping centre, and the Eastern freeway.
