114 Old Mornington Road, Mount Eliza, Vic 3930

Immersed in tranquillity among beautiful botanical gardens on approx 3,326sqm, few compare with this enchanting Golden Mile address where European elegance and modern luxury unite for an experience of pure indulgence.

An easy walk to Davey's Bay Beach and prestigious Toorak College, with village restaurants and boutiques only moments away, Palmera is truly one of a kind with a sprawling floorplan designed to make the most of outlooks to the floodlit tennis court, gas heated swimming pool and the spectacular grounds beyond.

With auto iron gates with a giant Canary Island date palm marking the entry, beautiful ironwork makes a statement throughout the home from the doorway and staircase balustrade to the chandeliers and on the parent's private balcony.

Two grand living areas provide sumptuous spaces to relax – one with floor to ceiling picture windows and the other with an open fire. Under soaring vaulted ceilings, a central dining hall offers amazing space for the largest of sittings with a gas fire throwing out beautiful warmth and ambience.

The epicurean kitchen is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing with black Falcon vintage stove with two ovens, gorgeous black cabinetry, stone counters, a grand island bench and direct access to a sunny breakfast deck, while across the other side of the tennis court is a Mediterranean-style alfresco terrace with BBQ and pizza oven.

The tennis court has a built-in basketball ring at one end, an inground trampoline has a garden "room'' of its own, the pool include a swim jet for exercise, while a barrel sauna with an adjoining tree hammock among the gardens offers an exhilarating experience.

The main bedroom suite takes the entire upper level to itself including a dressing room, ensuite with a large shower and the balcony looking out to the treetops, while three other bedrooms on the lower level include one with an ensuite and a family bathroom with a bath, shower and sensational skylight.

With a gorgeous timber door on a double carport and a driveway to a second garage at the rear, the home also includes zoned ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, security system and double gates off Harleston Rd give fabulous entry to the rear of the property.
