20 Browning Drive, Glen Waverley

This grand new French Provincial residence is a masterclass in modern luxury.

An instant sense of arrival is asserted as you approach its stately entrance, introduced by an automatic gated driveway and a pedestrian gate with camera intercom. Exposed aggregate and paved pathways frame the residence, softened by landscaped gardens.

Accessed through bespoke double doors with a digital lock, sophistication is exhibited across two lavishly appointed levels. Tall ceilings with chandeliers, exquisite parquetry timber flooring and elaborate detailing such as wainscot wall panelling, decorative bulkheads and tall colonial windows elevate the home’s spaces.

Refined living begins with a formal lounge to the right, where a slimline gas fireplace is framed by custom cabinetry. A sprawling open plan family and dining room is the heart of the home, crowned by a glamorous kitchen. The gourmet chef will be able to flex their culinary skills here, featuring premium Miele and SMEG appliances, including an integrated fridge and freezer, stone benches and splashbacks, a significant breakfast island and a butler’s pantry with an additional cooktop and rangehood. Sliding doors link this hub with a stunning backyard setting, where a covered alfresco with an outdoor kitchen, ceiling fan and lighting invites year-round entertaining.

Deluxe accommodation comprises five king-sized master suites with fitted-out walk-in wardrobes and elegant fully tiled ensuites. One is located on the ground floor with its own private alfresco, while the primary suite upstairs is complemented by a retreat, a dressing room and an extravagant ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub.

An expansive rumpus serviced by a wet bar, a home office, a well-appointed laundry, a powder room, a wine storeroom and a remote double garage with direct entry into a mudroom complete the home’s substantial footprint.

Bonus features include ducted heating and air conditioning, an alarm system, security cameras, several bar fridges, a 2,000-litre water tank, plus substantial storage, stone surfaces, shaker cabinetry, feature lighting, quality tapware and double-glazed windows throughout.

The home’s position enhances its lifestyle appeal. It is situated only metres from Highvale Secondary College and within walking distance of Holy Saviour Primary School, bus stops, parks and recreational facilities. Private secondary colleges, The Glen Shopping Centre, Kingsway’s dining and entertainment precinct, Glen Waverley Train Station, popular wholesale produce outlets, and both the Monash and EastLink Freeways are also just a short drive away.
