This multi-level Hawthorn home occupies 2,963sqm approx. of direct Yarra River frontage with private pontoon, pool and north-south tennis court.

With unified and restful palette provided by a expanses of concrete, oak and black steel, the breathtaking contemporary family estate 'Canopy House' is the result of a collaboration between renowned architects Powell and Glenn, luxury builder Visioneer and Robert Boyle Landscapes.

"Upon entering the residence, you know it is a truly special home," Nicole French told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. "The stunning Powell and Glenn architecture is encapsulated by Robert Boyle gardens in a resort style setting.

It is rare to find a near new home of this calibre set on the Yarra River. An exceptional family oasis ready to enjoy now."

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Ed Glenn Principal of Powell and Glenn said, "The clients appreciated subtlety as a foundation of beauty, and in turn desired a house which was unassuming from the street and did not dominate its environment."

"Embedded in a cascading topography, the Canopy House allows the user to experience the surroundings at multiple levels and create distinct relationships between inside and out. At ground level, the thud of the earth is evident, with the progression through the central and upper floors leaving the user floating amongst the tree canopies."

"The comfortably brutalist design employs bold, clean lines, layering raw concrete and steel with soft, textured materials to create a refined interior."

Taking cues from mid-century architecture, the refined design maximises the spectacular river outlooks through vast expanses of floor to ceiling glass over three lift connected levels. 

On the street level, the entrance foyer introduces an executive study or library and generous guest bedroom with walk in robe and designer en suite.

Both a lift and polished concrete stairs lead down to the living zone where a serene sitting room with built in bar and expansive living and dining room, both with open fires, command picturesque views over the lush, Palm Springs style tropical garden and the river. 

The state-of-the-art chef's kitchen is an entertainer's dream with its stainless steel workbenches, swathes of Dolomite granite, Miele appliances, integrated fridge/freezer, butler's pantry, temperature controlled cool room and built in leather seating ideal for casual family dining.

Overlooking the garden, a large BBQ terrace paved with crazy granite is set beneath a pergola with outdoor heaters. 

On the river level, there is a temperature-controlled wine display room with fridge, dedicated gym and a palatial rumpus/billiards or media room with bar fridge and dishwasher opening to two undercover terraces. 

A path through the garden arrives at the self-cleaning solar/gas heated pool and spa and a rustic alfresco terrace connected through fully retracting glass sliders to a sensational air conditioned pool house featuring a full kitchen, fireplace, stylish bathroom, outdoor heaters and fan. 

The mod grass tennis court is on the far side of the pool, while a huge riverside deck overlooks the river and pontoon.
