8 James Avenue, Aspendale, Vic 3195

Defined by timeless simplicity and refined architectural detail, this impeccably crafted residence by Built by Luxe showcases a striking fusion of classic charm and contemporary elegance, finished to the highest standard behind its character-rich weatherboard facade. Showcasing the finest in design excellence, this home reveals spaces that are luxurious, comfortable and timeless.

A clever spatial interconnectedness with an enclosed alfresco at its centre offers a sense of light and loft that creates a grand atmosphere when entertaining. A sunken lounge makes a theatrical statement and is the natural heart of the home, with the upstairs family room providing a quieter alternative when time apart is required. Designed for year-round indulgence, the alfresco area is an entertainer’s haven, offering space for a 10-seat table, integrated heating and cooling for all-season comfort, direct butler’s pantry access, and an impressive automatic glass slider that transforms the space into a fully enclosed retreat at the touch of a button.

With a sleek monochromatic palette and an elegant formal composition, the kitchen showcases its culinary credentials with premium Smeg appliances including two ovens, an induction cooktop, and wok burner; extensive preparation space, volumes of custom cabinetry, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry with a bar fridge, wine storage, and zip tap for both sparkling and boiling water.

Respecting how families enjoy coming together before retreating into their own space, zoned accommodation comprises a ground-floor master bedroom with walk-in robe and magnificent ensuite joined upstairs by three further bedrooms with robes and a second family bathroom. The home’s architectural vision is clearly expressed in the family bathroom as it emphasises the use of clean lines and balanced geometric forms beneath a central skylight.

With leafy outlooks from every window, beautifully landscaped gardens feature privacy trees, watering systems and lighting. Along with a comprehensive security system, additional highlights include louvre windows circulating fresh air, ceiling fans, soft-close cabinetry, hidden storage, black-out and linen curtains, light dimmers, and a commitment to rejuvenation with recycled bricks from 16 St Georges Road, Toorak.

Positioned in a popular and peaceful bayside corridor framed by the Edithvale Wetlands and Mordialloc Creek, the property is within 400m of Aspendale foreshore and in close reach of Rossdale Golf Course, Aspendale Train Station, and Mordialloc village, positioning itself as one of the area's most iconic homes.
