72 Lansdowne Street, Blairgowrie VIC 3942

Positioned atop a hill just 700 metres from the Blairgowrie Village and pristine beachfront, this architect-designed residence embodies a blend of sophisticated design and thoughtful functionality. Completed in 2016 by renowned Melbourne architect Rod Thorley, the home capitalises on its elevated site to offer expansive Bay views that enhance both daily living and entertaining experiences.

The multi-level design, executed with clean, classical lines and a striking white limestone façade, asserts an impressive street presence while prioritising ease of access. The main living areas open nearly at street level, accessible from both the front entrance and the two-car garage via polished concrete hallways that exude contemporary elegance.

• The lower level encompasses a versatile family living area complete with a fully equipped kitchen and dining space, adjoining a lounge/TV room that connects seamlessly to covered outdoor dining and poolside decks through full-height glass sliding doors.
• Three double bedrooms with ample built-in wardrobes provide generous accommodation options, served by a spacious fully tiled bathroom with modern conveniences including hydronic heated towel rails and a separate powder room. This floor is designed to function as a self-contained family suite or potential holiday rental with its private entrance, enhancing privacy and flexibility.

The street-level living zone hosts a large second bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, opening into expansive dining and lounge areas that flow effortlessly onto a wide deck overlooking the swimming pool and framing captivating Bay vistas. The kitchen stands out for its meticulous planning and premium appointments, featuring a substantial stone bench, integrated Liebherr double fridge/freezers, Miele appliances, and a butler’s pantry that provides additional preparation space and storage with a secondary sink and dishwasher.

Support spaces include a large laundry, plentiful storage cupboards, and a dedicated drying room with a covered, enclosed external deck. An additional 'tradesman entrance' from the driveway enhances practicality, facilitating the movement of bulky items.

The crowning feature is the private penthouse suite spanning 100 square metres with soaring 4-metre raked ceilings, comprising a master bedroom, bathroom and dressing rooms, a lounge/TV area, and a dedicated office space with built-in desks and extensive library shelving. Floor-to-ceiling north-facing windows and sliding doors open onto a full-length deck with panoramic Bay views reaching to the Blairgowrie Yacht Club, Queenscliff, Mornington and Arthur's Seat.
