18 Central Ave, Black Rock

Spectacular Family Retreat with Privacy, Precision and Pure Prestige

A breathtaking expression of sunlit scale, high-quality detail and alfresco luxury, this supersized 4-5 bedroom, 3 bathroom family entertainer will elevate the way you live over two levels of light-filled indulgence. Best of all, the natural beauty of Black Rock Beach is just metres away!

From the very first step inside, discover an inviting sense of depth with a clear line of sight to the rear of the block. A formal living room with a stylish corner window is a picture of versatility, capable of use as a home office, home theatre or guest bedroom, superbly serviced by a fully tiled semi-ensuite with sleek rainfall/hand-held fittings. A work-ready home office is also posted on the ground floor, while an upstairs retreat is ideal for quiet time or family connection.

The far-reaching layout comes to life under soaring ceilings with designated space for living and dining, warmed by a Eureka wood-fired heater. A well-equipped kitchen is a top-of-the-range Miele showcase boasting a 900mm oven, 5-burner gas cooktop, rangehood, dishwasher, a double-door fridge/freezer and even a 30 bottle wine fridge. This skylit workspace is further enriched by high-performing Carrara marble surfaces, an imposing waterfall-edged island bench, a 276 bottle wine rack and a substantial butler’s pantry for additional storage and concealment.

Designed to promote ease of living, enjoy an inclusive all-seasons harmony between the indoor and outdoor spaces with a sheltered alfresco and showpiece pool almost coaxing you into the fresh air. The under-the-roofline alfresco area comes complete with dual overhead heating, a ceiling fan, Sonos audio and an outdoor kitchen featuring a stone-finished workspace, a built-in BBQ and a drinks fridge. Make every social event an occasion in a zone that works equally well for everyday living or celebrating on a grand scale.

The great outdoors are further enhanced by a fully automated and heated swimming pool, a sweeping poolside terrace, a 5-person spa, a fire pit, bench seating and a compact lawn. Peacefully positioned with a private leafy perimeter, cook up a storm while the kids cool down in the pool!

A palatial main bedroom is staged upstairs, graced with a custom-built dressing room and a luxe ensuite showcasing a standalone bath and concealed shower. The remaining robed bedrooms are superbly serviced by a fully tiled bathroom with a luxurious bath, an oversized shower and granite detailing.

Presented in impeccable condition throughout, every flawless finish has been thoughtfully designed with a strong emphasis on integration, luxury, and functionality. The list of special features is extensive including a large laundry with more Miele appliances, upstairs powder room, substantial storage solutions, heating/cooling throughout and a remote-controlled 2.5 car garage with a drive-through rear roller door for additional storage.

Superbly located in the highly sought-after Beaumaris Secondary and Mentone Girls’ Secondary College zones, walk to the Bay Trail fitness paths, village shopping, local bus transport and the wide open greenery of Donald MacDonald Reserve. This is the best of Bayside living without any hint of a compromise!
