An exquisite family oasis on 2,019m2 (21,732ft2 approx.) on the high side of esteemed Scotch Hill

Thoughtfully designed by Shaw Architecture to embellish a modern indoor-outdoor entertainment lifestyle, this impressive six bedroom residence epitomises luxury with up-to-the-minute amenity and vogue interior design, on the high point of Hawthorn’s most coveted tree-lined street. Occupying approximately 2,019m2 (approx) and oriented with a north-west facing property, the enchanting gardens by Bott Landscaping solidify the home as a family oasis, with internal and external areas dedicated to both private seclusion and vibrant entertainment, including a full-sized mod-grass tennis court and gas heated in-ground pool.
Beyond automated gates, a driveway lined in Ornamental Pears provides a magical welcome to the sprawling interiors. The bespoke design has spared no cost, with under-floor hydronic heating below Tectonic Oak floors, keeping a high level of comfort throughout the ground floor spaces. A customised cloak room, dedicated to simple practicality, keeps bags, coats and shoes at the entry from the three car remote garage, and a home office is placed at the entry for home business with fitted cabinetry. With recreation in mind, there is a room for every occasion – a leisure/billiards room provides private enjoyment for kids by the warmth of a gas fire, providing direct access to the outdoor entertainment zone. The open plan living area is ideal for regaling guests, segregated into formal dining, lounge, meals and private reading room, with two powder rooms, connecting to the outdoors through immense double glazed doors. The kitchen effortlessly caters large functions with a full-appointment of Neff appliances, including coffee machine, Circosteam combination oven, and warming drawer plus Liebherr wine fridge, and smartly dressed in Caesar stone and glass splashbacks with endless soft-closing cabinetry. A 1,000 bottle cellar, shrewdly placed adjacent the dining room, retains the perfect temperature with the French Fondis Winemaster system.
Echoing indoor spaces, the outdoors also caters for recreation or private enjoyment serviced by automated irrigation from an underground 70,000L water tank. A vast alfresco dining space overlooks the pool, spa and tennis court, with an enchanting garden providing quiet seclusion under a towering sheoak tree, with gazebo and cubby house surrounded by an extensive range of matured trees.
Accommodation is indulgent, each of the kids’ five generous robed bedrooms providing space for study, flanking a large upstairs retreat with a wide lounge balcony. Three ensuites (including 2x two-way ensuites) are lavishly tiled to ceilings with travertine, providing under-floor heating and Rinnai deluxe bathroom controllers, to limit temperature and water capacity. The master bedroom (sixth bedroom) pampers parents with a fitted dressing room, twin-basin Dark Emperadore marble ensuite with freestanding bath and cosmetic stone vanity, and in-built study.
This coveted pocket of Scotch Hill provides easy transport options, with trams to connecting suburbs including Camberwell Junction, Glenferrie, Richmond and CBD, train connectivity and Monash freeway nearby, plus endless private school options including Scotch College, Bialik College, Loreto Mandeville Hall, St Catherine’s, St Kevin’s and MLC. An easy walk through tree-lined streets to Gardiner’s Creek walking and cycling tracks, and the nearby Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club provide recreation.
