377-381 The Boulevard, Ivanhoe East

Delivering a wealth of stunning spaces, resort style features and the finest inclusions, this five bedroom plus guest house showstopper exhibits a triumphant transformation. Handsomely rendered, the solid brick house began as the home of celebrated builder E A Watts, the man also behind Melbourne’s first skyscraper. On approximately 3500m2, it extends an invitation to savour sweeping leafy views from a prized position, seconds from the Yarra River.

Extending across three luxurious levels, the residence centres around living and dining rooms and a sunroom, showcasing original terrazzo flooring. Flaunting marble surfaces and an 85 inch television, a state-of-the-art home theatre impresses. A retreat and bar offer further relaxation, while the generous guest house features a fold down queen bed, high end kitchen, bathroom and steam room.

An accomplished entertainer, the home further boasts a commercial grade kitchen and top tier family kitchen and meals domain. Miele appliances and granite counters distinguish the latter, with a butler’s pantry highlighting electric joinery, an integrated Liebherr freezer and commercial cool room. Similarly adjoining the cool room, an alfresco shines with a charcoal spit/barbecue, pizza oven and commercial grade burners. A poolside outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, cigar lounge, walk-in cigar humidor, climate controlled cellar and terrazzo balconies extend advantages.

Complemented by a luminous study, five restful bedrooms each lead directly to a fully tiled bathroom, including four ensuites. Presenting a vast walk-in robe, the main bedroom flaunts a lavish spa ensuite, with twin shower. Two powder rooms and a poolside shower make it easy to stay fresh outdoors, and the vast laundry is another stand out.

A fully equipped gymnasium, full size tennis court and sauna focus on health and wellbeing, while the enticing infinity edge pool reaches a depth of 3 metres and comes with a heated spa, diving board, waterfall and jet features.

Quality heating and cooling, a 22 kilowatt solar array, C-Bus automation, Sonos sound, security system and CCTV enhance comfort. Crystal chandeliers, multicolour LED strip lighting, Brintons plush carpets, established gardens, granite flooring and granite paving confer aesthetic appeal. Exceptional storage, a greenhouse, underground 123,000 litre water tank, automatic gates, circular driveway and 7 car garage top a long list of exemplary further inclusions, proving tireless dedication to excellence at every turn and engendering a lifestyle beyond compare.
