30 Watts Parade, Mount Eliza

Introduced by tranquil water gardens and a gently meandering brook, with the shimmering blue expanse of the bay unfurled before it like a living artwork, this luxurious modern manor masterfully harnesses its spectacular surrounds to offer privacy, exclusivity and a profound sense of serenity in one of the finest vantage points in Mt Eliza's Golden Mile. Literally doors from the sandy shore of Canadian Bay Beach and sailing club, the grand residence celebrates its privileged seaside position with surreal views along the picturesque coast and across the bay to the silhouette of Melbourne's skyline, while the inground pool and spa offers a setting beside showpiece gardens where a trickling brook journeys alongside paths and under footbridges. Inside, a series of beautifully proportioned living, dining and entertaining zones provide exceptional versatility, including a sunken lounge opening to the poolside, a large rumpus lounge also with easy access to the pool and an upper-level lounging area with triple stacked sliding doors to a broad bay-view balcony where the scenery at sunset is nothing short of sensational. The kitchen is a refined statement in contemporary design, appointed with sleek granite benchtops, premium AEG appliances including both induction and gas cooktops, a Zip tap with sparkling water, and a substantial pantry. Opposite, a cleverly integrated drinks bar and wine cellar enhance the home's strong entertaining credentials, while the central dining hall is perfectly scaled for hosting memorable gatherings. The sleeping quarters offer upper or lower primary suites allowing private guest quarters, featuring an exceptional main bedroom where you can enjoy city views from bed, triple stacked sliding doors opening to the viewing balcony, a dressing room and ensuite with twin vanity.
