KEW

THE DEAL

Few homes in Melbourne, or anywhere in Australia, match the architectural daring and assured luxury achieved here. McKimm’s latest and most ambitious project yet, reshapes the way families live in Kew with absolute precision, each detail produced to the highest specification to create a residence that is both visually arresting and highly intuitive. Holding a prized setting within walking distance of Genazzano and Carey Grammar, and minutes from Kew and Canterbury’s renowned private school belt, it offers a domain that underpins a lifestyle most only dream of.

The curved façade sweeps toward a private landscaped front garden and circular pool, its northern orientation drawing sunlight through vast panes of glass and shaping interiors that feel as dramatic as they are welcoming. A series of vast, gallery-like passages unfolds throughout, linking multiple expansive living and dining areas to outdoor spaces that cater to every mode of entertainment. The main living area, featuring a gas fire and extraordinary proportions, extends to the garden and pool, while a secluded courtyard offers leafy privacy beside the dining zone. In the kitchen, a fully appointed chef’s scullery and a premium suite of Sub-Zero, Gaggenau and Miele appliances throughout each zone is supported by a plumbed BBQ outdoors.

Flexibility defines the entry level, with a guest suite, rumpus room, and study set to the rear within a peaceful wing. A lower-level entertainment zone is accessed via stairs or a lift, with a secure basement garage for six or more vehicles, a grand lobby, and a self-contained area, which is fantastic as a home theatre, gym, or wellness zone. Upstairs, four additional bedroom suites include a palatial main bedroom suite, curving around to a northern aspect, featuring a dressing room and an en-suite that gazes over an internal courtyard from the bath, bringing light and calm into its daily rituals.

Throughout, Malpesa bricks, European oak, G-Lux marble, soft natural render and polished concrete maintain a calm yet sophisticated environment, with comprehensive features including state-of-the-art security, architectural lighting, motorised blinds, irrigation, and ducted reverse-cycle systems, to name a few.

SEALS THE DEAL

Uncompromising and inimitable on every level, it is designed to hold its relevance well into the future.
