Nestled within sublime Paul Bangay gardens, this French Provincial-inspired residence delivers palatial-scaled luxury and liveability in illustrious Canterbury.

The monumental contemporary home has received international acclaim for its uncompromised finishes and curated gallery-like interiors by Dylan Farrell, winning ‘Best Residential Bathroom Design’ in Australia’s 2020 Belle Fanuli Interior Design Awards.

“38 Monomeath Avenue is a truly exceptional residence that exemplifies timeless elegance and modern luxury,” Andy Nasr told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.“Situated on one of Melbourne's most prestigious streets, this home offers a lifestyle of sophistication in the heart of Canterbury.”

Designed over three levels, the five-bedroom-suite home’s vast living and entertaining spaces are further enhanced with a range of lifestyle and leisure amenities including a day spa with sauna, a gymnasium, a five-star cinema, and an executive study.

A voluminous marble entry hall on the ground level reveals the formal lounge and dining rooms showcasing the timeless theatrics and grandeur of Dylan Farrell’s curations including bespoke furnishings.

Every wall, whether polished plaster or hand-finished stucco is a veritable work of art, as is the flooring, that transitions between precious timbers, rare marbles, or the most sumptuous carpet, while a cornucopia of crystal chandeliers, oversized pendants, and elegant sconces dazzle throughout.

The culinary zone comprises two show-stopping marble kitchens, both with custom-finished cabinetry and Wolf/Sub-Zero appliances. Kitchen One has a New York loft-style vibe, with an altar-like marble island as the centrepiece while Kitchen Two has the added functionality of a walk-in cool room, and direct access from the service sideway, allowing for convenient deliveries.

The award-winning main ensuite is resplendent in honed marble, polished brass and antique mirroring, yet all eight bathrooms including ensuites to each of the five bedrooms, guest powder room, and a ground-level bathroom with poolside access, are equally worthy of a design award. 

Also worthy of a special mention is the lavishly appointed dressing room/walk-in-robe that links the sun-filled main bedroom with the ensuite, replete with customised spaces for a boutique full of designer gear.

The main living space flows to an undercover, fully-equipped outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, linked with a vine-covered colonnade to the beautifully established Paul Bangay gardens, and the glass-mosaic tiled swimming pool and spa with gas/solar heating and automatic cleaning functionality.

The outstanding cobble-stoned 16-vehicle showroom has gallery lighting, glass walls, and it opens to a grand entry foyer, with lift, and access to the basement-level rooms, which include a living area/rumpus with bar/kitchenette, the stunning wine cellar/tasting room, mirrored-wall gymnasium, and the wellness centre/day spa with sauna, that could also serve as au pair accommodation.

Within walking distance of prestigious schools and Maling Road Village, this tightly-held neighbourhood is close to Canterbury Station, Canterbury Gardens and the Anniversary trail.
