Luxury Limestone Custom Home

Drawing inspiration from classic French provincial architecture and infused with elegance and glamour, this grand estate is the result of a collaborative effort between the client, architect, builder, and the expert stonemasons at Wilmoore Allstone, that worked tirelessly on the project for over 3 years to bring it to life. In a suburb renowned for its opulent residences and European inspired architecture, this newly completed Melbourne home stands in a class of its own and it’s no surprise that it has been nominated for the Master Builders Association Victoria – Home of the Year.

From first glance, this luxury limestone custom home exudes timeless sophistication. The ornate craftsmanship in the home’s limestone façade which features a myriad of intricate mouldings reflect a home not of 2024 but of a bygone era. Complemented by intricate wrought iron details and elliptical arched windows with Juliet balconies, it’s easy to imagine you’re standing on a chic Parisian avenue and not inner city Melbourne.

A stand out on the street, the dramatic facade also features custom timber entry doors by LBA Joinery who also did the internal doors and supplied other materials for this spectacular residence.

Soaring 4.5-meter vaulted ceilings create a level of grandeur rarely seen. Yet, the true pièce de résistance lies in the intricate limestone work that includes 88 fluted and tapered limestone columns. Each column, with its detailed capitals and precise fluting, was dry-laid, then carefully split and fitted around glass windows to create an invisible reveal, a challenge that was repeated across 50 columns. The arches – moulded and self supporting, were also expertly crafted on-site, alongside a variety of other stone elements that enhance the luxury limestone custom home’s beauty and structural integrity.

A state of the art, home automation system controls climate and security throughout the five bedroom, nine bathroom property. Sustainability has also been thoughtfully integrated throughout to ensure the home is as environmentally responsible as it is beautiful. These include water harvesting, a solar system and appliances carefully selected for energy efficiency. Offering the ultimate luxury lifestyle, this spectacular residence also incorporates a private cinema, an art gallery, a wellness centre, and a pool set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens.

Close contact was maintained with the client throughout the entire project which progressed under the constraints of the pandemic. Despite the challenges and the complexity of the home’s many architectural features, exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the home.

This luxury residence is a true reflection of a collaborative effort and a credit to everyone involved, delivering a custom home of unparalleled quality.
