Glen Iris 6 Aintree Road

Set privately in walled, ornamental gardens, this superb, architect-designed home on the Malvern border is defined by a sun-drenched, flow-through floorplan of 40 squares that is purpose-built for impressive entertaining and extended family living with massive room sizes and indulgent accommodation.

Clever design has created a series of interconnecting, north-facing living rooms, each with garden access and all flowing seamlessly through to an alfresco loggia with a balcony and cafe-style awnings for year-round enjoyment. A central kitchen, well-equipped for entertaining and custom-designed by a catering professional, has a choice of striking granite serveries, a vast central granite island bench, elegant ivory Emporite cabinetry and thoughtful inclusions such as a walk-in pantry and a separate, fitted storeroom with potential as a butler's pantry.

Bedroom accommodation is generous and well-appointed with 3 main-sized bedrooms, including a separate front bedroom used successfully as both guest accommodation and an enormous home office. Zoned privately to the rear, the main bedroom incorporates extra-deep walk-in robes, a very large marble-tiled spa ensuite and ceiling-height glazing opening to a private balcony.

Sophisticated with practical inclusions and in-built versatility that give it enduring appeal for families at all stages, this home also includes a lower level home studio, gym or teen retreat with independent access to the double carport and double garage, each with rear laneway access, and a substantial 'man cave' with a fitted workshop and extensive, fitted underhouse storage with untapped potential.
