22 Gilbertson Street, Essendon, VIC 3040

Without question one of the finest single-storey homes to grace the Essendon landscape, this custom-built luxury residence delivers a family lifestyle of absolute class, refinement, and splendour.

Hidden beyond a high security fence and low-maintenance gardens, a sweeping interior blends artisan flair and flawless craftsmanship, with a smart layout placing real-world function at the fore. Making an impression to last, hand-applied Venetian plaster rises from the floor to the peak of a raked ceiling, running the length of a broad hallway to reach a spectacular back section. An entire wall of north-side glass and clerestory windows above bring an abundance of sun to sublime living and dining zones, while in a gourmet kitchen, a wide waterfall island sits centre-stage among a Neff induction cooktop and foldaway ovens, Siemens dishwasher, Qasair rangehood, butler’s pantry, Zip Tap, and integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer. Making clever use of its northern aspect, the home’s brilliantly private entertainer’s yard stretches to a distant back boundary, offering a wealth of space to unwind among greenery, socialise on a summer’s night, and share blue-sky afternoons with friends and family.
