Little Real Estate director Jeffrey Wilson says the property, which is located in a quiet Studley Park-area street, offers the very best of contemporary housing.

“It’s only three years old, and Dean Dugdale has built a home which will meet all the needs of a modern family,’’ Mr Wilsons says.

“There has been great attention to detail. Situated on a 331sqm block, the home has 350sqm of living space approximately which includes four generous bedrooms, three of which have their own walk-in robes.”

Also, each bedroom has an ensuite, eliminating any tension over shared resources at busy times.

Prospective buyers who love to entertain will note that the kitchen has a butler’s pantry, Miele appliances and marble benchtops.

And the indoor-outdoor orientation of the home will allow friends and family to enjoy shared living in the open-plan kitchen/family/meals zone and adjoining north-facing terrace. Or they can take a dip in the heated pool, which is framed by floor-to-ceiling glass. Other notable features include a library, home office, a multi-car garage with interior access and a balcony with views of the south.

Mr Wilson says while the home itself has plenty to offer its location really gives it “blue-chip status”.

It is only a very short drive to Kew Junction’s shopping district, the Yarra River and associated Studley Park parklands as well as some of Melbourne’s leading private schools including Carey Grammar, Ruyton Girls School, Methodist Ladies College, Trinity College and Xavier College.

The real estate agent says the property will have “broad appeal to young families with children wishing to be close to schools and transport”.

“It will also appeal to an older couple who are wishing to scale down but still want plenty of room for visiting grandchildren, who can sleep in a separate zone,” he says. “The home allows you to live on one level or all three levels, with children having their own living zones upstairs and cinema on the lower level.”

Mr Wilson says the property has attracted interest from young families, whose children are starting their schooling to older families whose offspring are finishing their secondary education.

“Retired couples looking for a low-maintenance home with every conceivable comfort and large garage accommodation are also showing interest.”
