3 Bedroom House in Melville

A sanctuary of sophistication, inspiration, and views.

Perched high on the prestigious Fifth Avenue Ridge, this architecturally distinctive home is something a little different.

Designed for those who appreciate good architecture, beautiful spaces and the luxury of living with a view, it manages that rather elusive balance between sophisticated and comfortable, private and connected.

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, the double-storey home is wonderfully low-maintenance without ever feeling clinical.

Upstairs, a central lounge becomes the heart of the home an intimate space to read, think, entertain or simply pause and take in the expansive northern views over the treetops.

Two generous en-suite bedrooms are flooded with natural light and enjoy the same sense of privacy and outlook.

Downstairs, the living spaces open up beautifully. The lounge, dining area and kitchen flow effortlessly onto a generous deck, creating an easy connection between inside and out.

There is also a guest cloakroom and a cleverly positioned study area ideal for working from home without allowing work to take over the house.

And then there is the view.

Outside, a private north-facing splash pool and outdoor lounge make the most of the elevated position. Morning coffee, afternoon swims, sundowners or a glass of red as the light changes across the city this is a home that encourages you to slow down occasionally.

A Hollywood-style double garage, cellarlaundryutility room and established garden complete the picture.

With a security guard stationed at the entrance to the cul-de-sac, there is an additional layer of peace of mind.

For the executive, the academic, the creative or simply someone who appreciates a home with a little more architectural personality this is a rather special place from which to live, work, entertain, and think.
