Bespoke Doncaster East Living A statement of architectural brilliance that celebrates the notion of family and life itself is the pillar upon which this one-of-a-kind masterpiece is built, offering a unique yet practical living experience inside a carefully considered home only moments away from The Pines Shopping Centre, bus services, the Eastern Freeway, parkland and well-regarded local schools.Inspired by the idea of 15th century Renaissance architect, Leon Battista Alberti, who professed a house is like a small town and a town is like a large house, this bespoke four-bedroom, one-owner residence isn't just distinctly different from anything else in Manningham but an exhibition of outstanding craftsmanship, cutting-edge design and superior materials. Actually, it's more than that. It transcends the materialism of bricks and mortar; this home has spirit and soul, atmosphere and ambiance.Set atop an easy-care elevated allotment to capture the beauty of the Northerly light and calmness of the panoramic view, the home has two distinct parts that are mediated by their rapport to the exterior upper and lower courtyards. One enters off the street to the lower courtyard and has access via a single flight of steps to the front door, while the upper courtyard is in view and is accessed via a meandering of gentle steps reminiscent of a stroll in a small village. From here, choose to explore the wonderful garden of fruit trees, or enter the house marked by the hearth of a fireplace, which serves the more intimate zone of the meals and lounge area.Having been configured to be in dialogue with the exterior and positioned to make the most of nature and the elements of nature - that being, light and view - once inside, you'll continue to be in contact with the world in a grand sense. Most rooms, for example, have a view to the North towards the hills and benefit from the light that streams into the house, and where appropriate, the structure of the house is also revealed in order to celebrate the construction of architecture itself - a feature best demonstrated by the exposed Oregon timber beams and solid girders of the vast open-plan living.Zoned living sees all bedrooms embrace the privacy of the upper courtyard, including the Master bedroom, which surveys the domain, through the house and beyond to the hills. Tall vertical walls of the skillion roof of the bedrooms draw maximum daylight into the casual meals area and smaller lounge, while swathes of glass filter abundant natural light into the open-plan living/dining area whilst also framing the breathtaking scenery to present a sense of calm and nurturing.Delight in the generous proportions of the timber kitchen, as well as the flexibility of the loft retreat (with a dramatic view across the lounge and ideal for a peaceful home office or Library) and downstairs rumpus, designed with its own sink and entry to function seamlessly as a teenager's retreat.Aesthetically beautiful with a modernist design and pure cubic form, this ahead-of-its-time home also features Victorian Ash timber floorboards, Terracotta roof tiles, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, slate floors to the kitchen area and rumpus, Bluestone slabs around the fireplace, fully-tiled family bathroom with spa bath, lengthy front deck with views and double garage with cellar access.Honouring the virtues of family, the beauty of light and the security of home, it's the perfect setting to play out your family's next chapter of lifelong memories.Photo ID Required
