On a magnificent acre, this architect-designed home enjoys exclusive privacy in Donvale's most prestigious enclave. Owner-occupied for over 30 years, extended and renovated 25 years ago, architectural foresight and artistic restraint have created a truly timeless family home. Impressive high ceilings and gleaming parquetry floors welcome you, stepping down to an elegant formal lounge and dining room with a striking fireplace.

Another 2 living zones with hardwood floors border the lounge, all accessing a covered alfresco pavilion. The genius design feature of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living areas compels your attention outside to the stunning north-facing entertainer's backyard with a tennis court and pool.

Boasting top-of-the-range European stainless steel appliances, the gourmet kitchen has an Ariston oven and dishwasher, plus a Bosch gas cooktop with wok burner. An adjacent laundry has abundant storage, with clever storage throughout the entire house. 4 robed bedrooms and a study are serviced by 2 bathrooms, including a sumptuous master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and European ensuite.

Dotted with roses and fruit trees, the highlight of the backyard is a self-contained pool house which includes a kitchenette, bathroom and storeroom and covered entertaining space including the in-ground pool, in-deck spa and mains-connected BBQ. Further inclusions: gas ducted heating, reverse cycle split system, ceiling fans, dual roller blinds, intercom, automatic gates and double garage and water tanks.

Take a scenic stroll to local shops and bus depot, with a short drive to Tunstall Square, The Pines and freeway/EastLink access.
