25 Thomas Street, Moonee Ponds, Vic 3039

THE DEAL
Blending elegance with opulence, this sensational, Federation-era home is among Moonee Ponds’ finest, offering a masterclass in luxury for families to cherish for decades to come.

Sprawling over a vast 816sqm (approx.), north-facing parcel, the extraordinary home lies beyond a street stance that’s sure to entice, with leadlight and box-bay windows, lush landscaping, and a broad veranda charming precursors for remarkable interior
spaces. A wide entrance hall makes a lasting impression, with a towering ceiling and ornate features setting a tone of intricacy and detail carried on throughout. Accommodation is extensive, with five bedrooms split across two bright levels. Alternate up-and-down masters ensure flexibility; both accompanied by walk-in robes and lavish ensuites with soaker tubs, brushed-bronze tapware, and tiles imported from Italy. A chic main bathroom joins built-in robes in serving generous third and fourth bedrooms, while a versatile fifth doubles as an ideal base for the home professional.

With a day bed making clever use of a box-bay window, a considerable formal lounge is a perfect complement to sun-splashed entertaining zones, all centred around a striking, stone-and-timber kitchen with substantial waterfall island, double DishDrawers, imported splashback tiles, and a 1500mm ILVE cooker comfortably catering for droves. Surrounded by a veranda, sheer curtains, and windows for a wonderful breeze, a light-filled living space provides a gas-converted fireplace for cosy winter nights, while bi-fold doors merge an open dining zone with a huge deck and backyard tailor-made for family gatherings.

With quiet southern and fire-side northern terraces brilliant for social drinks watching sunsets, further highlights include designer lighting from About Space, tiles imported via Perini and De Fazio, Baltic pine and Blackbutt floors, split-system and ducted heating and cooling, a large storeroom, laundry/butler’s pantry with extra DishDrawer pair, oversized double garage facing rear laneway, and secure front-yard parking for four additional cars.

Sensationally placed with the best of Puckle Street and Mt Alexander Road metres away, it’s a short, relaxing stroll to Queens Park Pool and Lake, Convoy for a first-rate coffee, Il Caminetto for a superb pizza, trams bound for the CBD, and Moonee Valley Racecourse, with CityLink and prestigious schools both close by.

SEALS THE DEAL
An effortlessly stylish main bathroom with twin mirrors, basins, and brushed-bronze taps, a soaker tub, and fluted-glass shower screen along with large, in-vogue tiles spanning floor and walls, meeting a skylit ceiling soaring above.
