745 Arthurs Seat Road, Arthurs SeatVIC

With its interplay of space and light under soaring angled ceilings and clerestory windows, a life of relaxed privilege awaits in this stunning Arthurs Seat haven. On the market for only the second time, the sprawling 3 bedroom residence with home office has been beautifully updated, while a fully self-contained one bedroom apartment on the lower level with kitchen, bathroom and private entry is a sensational added bonus to accommodate extended family or guests. Crafted with a masterful sense of openness, the architect-designed residence boasts both formal and casual living and dining zones encased in walls of glass offering an illusion of boundlessness in this superb setting which can be further enjoyed out on the expansive tiered barbecue deck among the birdsong, while the elegant kitchen with mountain ash cabinetry and dual ovens is a chef's delight. Set on 1256sqm (approx) surrounded by national parks and fabulous hiking trails, yet just a few minutes' drive to shops and schools, the home also includes a huge main bedroom with ensuite, second bathroom with spa, storeroom/cellar, wood heater, open fireplace, 3 split-system air-conditioning units, glimpses of the bay and a double remote garage/workshop.
