Architectural Luxury with Resort-Style Living & Separate Studio

Commanding in both presence and proportion, this architecturally designed residence embodies a masterful interpretation of contemporary luxury-where refined design, expansive living, and resort-style indulgence come together in perfect harmony. Privately positioned on an exceptional 936m² parcel and offering 364m² of meticulously curated floor area, the home delivers a lifestyle defined by sophistication, flexibility, and effortless comfort.

A striking façade sets the tone, with clean architectural lines, premium finishes, and an intelligently zoned floorplan that balances openness with privacy. Upon entry, the home unfolds with purpose-guiding you from tranquil accommodation zones into expansive living domains, while separate retreats provide quiet spaces to unwind.

At its heart, the central living area seamlessly connects kitchen, dining, and lounge, all bathed in natural light through oversized glazing. Framed views extend to the alfresco setting and resort-style pool, while a feature fireplace anchors the lounge with warmth and understated elegance.

The designer kitchen is both a statement and a workspace-appointed with premium SMEG appliances, stone benchtops, an oversized island, and a generous walk-in pantry. A showpiece Miele four-door built-in fridge enhances both form and function, complementing the space with sleek integration and superior performance. An integrated Zip tap provides instant filtered hot and cold water, while the layout encourages effortless entertaining and everyday connection.

Privately positioned at the front, the master suite offers a peaceful sanctuary, complete with its own entry, elegant robes, and a luxurious ensuite. Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged within a separate wing, serviced by a central bathroom, separate WC, and ample storage-ideal for family living. A dedicated study provides a refined work-from-home environment, while a versatile rumpus room offers flexibility as a media retreat or additional accommodation.

The connection to outdoor living is impeccably realised, with a covered alfresco flowing from the main living domain to a private, resort-style pool and spa. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, the space balances elegant entertaining and effortless relaxation, delivering a lifestyle defined by indulgence, privacy, and refined luxury.

Adding a rare layer of versatility, the substantial 121m² fully self-contained studio at the rear features private access, multiple rooms, a spacious living area, full bathroom, and its own garage. Ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, a home business, or creative studio, it offers independence without compromise.

Perfectly positioned at 70 Melba Street, the home also delivers an exceptional lifestyle beyond its gates. A short stroll brings you to the Downer local shops and the ever-popular Gang Gang Café-ideal for your morning coffee ritual or casual brunch. Weekends can be spent enjoying open green spaces at Downer Oval, whether it's a relaxed walk, a game with friends, or simply soaking in the neighbourhood atmosphere.
