16 May Street
Deepdene

Brilliantly designed and crafted to perfection, this lavishly proportioned, five bedroom plus two office residence presents unprecedented French Provincial-styled luxury over three elevator-connected levels. Grand and imposing with an engaging street presence, the home forms a majestic synergy with this most exclusive of Deepdene surrounds.

Flowing past a generous lounge and a sweeping showpiece staircase of timber and wrought iron, all under lofty double height ceilings, the home culminates in a spectacular open-plan living area where the connection to undercover outdoor dining is suited perfectly to alfresco entertaining. Serviced by a stunning Miele equipped kitchen - with oven, microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher as well as an integrated refrigerator - and a room-sized Butler's Pantry, the open-plan is a gourmet cook's dream.

At the basement level, the home is spectacularly differentiated by an in-ground swimming pool, a sauna, and home theatre - with surround sound - all serviced by one of the six bathrooms as well as a vast six car garage that could readily fit in a home gymnasium if required. Meanwhile, an upstairs living area can be used as a parental or teen retreat, further reinforcing a flexibility of purpose.

Impressively, the master suite offers a five-star sense of indulgence with walk-in robes, a private office and an ensuite in which the feature bathtub is completely independent to a frameless screened shower. The rest of the family and guests will relish walk-in robes and ensuites for each of the remaining bedrooms.

No expense has been spared and no detail overlooked in this once-in-a-lifetime home that also offers central and zoned heating and air conditioning, superb brass chandeliers throughout and much more.

This is a blue-ribbon position of impeccable family prestige within the highly sought-after zones for both Balwyn High School and Deepdene Primary School, within easy reach of cafes and shopping along Whitehorse Road, city-bound trams and access to a selection of Melbourne's very finest private schools
