Life on the edge has never been more beautiful than in this architecturally designed abode with its focus on comfort and tranquillity.

No expense has been spared on this exclusive Edgewater property, which delivers the ultimate family lifestyle and uninterrupted views of parkland and the Maribyrnong River.

Immaculately manicured gardens flank this two-level versatile residence, set on 337 square metres of prime real estate.

The modern decor includes top quality fixtures and finishes, enhanced by a neutral white and cocoa palette, and extensive use of glass throughout floods all open spaces with natural light. Honey-toned hardwood floorboards begin at the entry and flow down a long hall into the living zone towards the rear.

A single bedroom with built-in wardrobe at hall’s end looks on to a private courtyard – a quiet spot to read the paper and enjoy a morning coffee.

The family-meals areas and a huge modern kitchen in the living zone are heated by a gas log fire in the cooler months.

The kitchen is tailor-made for a busy family and has plenty of workspace on stone benches and an island bench, great storage and top quality stainless-steel wall oven, convection and gas cooktops and a rangehood.

A massive laundry with plenty of linen space and a powder room are on this level.

Take the hardwood staircase to the upper level or the built-in lift, especially great for elderly parents.

Three generously-sized upstairs bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes, including the massive main which has an en suite and private access to a balcony overlooking the lake, river and parklands.

Steal away for some peace and quiet to the retreat where there’s an open study and balcony access to take in views.

The main bathroom, tiled in marble, has a stone-topped vanity unit.

Large sliding doors off the family-meals area open to a courtyard, giving seamless indoor-outdoor dining and entertainment.

Extras include a separate powder room and kitchenette upstairs, ducted heating and cooling and a remote-controlled double garage/workshop with internal access.

It has easy access to Highpoint shopping centre, schools, caf

és and transport.
