474 Whitehorse Road, Surrey Hills is a former display home with plenty of wow factor.
Be in your element at this “artful and daring” house where earth, wind, fire and water were the cornerstone in the design.
Built as Comdain Homes’s Akasha display home, the property at 474 Whitehorse Road, Surrey Hills, blends modern Australian architecture with timber, stone and metal to create a luxe living domain.
It also embraces passive-solar design principles and features solar panels, a Tesla battery and array of high-end, energy-efficient elements.

Luxury is taken to new heights at the modern home.
The front yard definitely makes a statement.
The property is on the market with a $3.95-$4.34m price guide.
Marshall White’s Eva Gyorodi said “wow factor” presented at every turn of the “flashy” home.
She added a buyer could also opt to purchase the furniture, which was all custom made for the property.
“You can’t get these pieces anywhere else, everything is made for the home to fit the area,” she said. “It fits like a glove.”
The sexy black marble kitchen.
Pool views from the living room.
The custom home, designed by architect Nicholas Orfanidis, features an infinity-edge pool in the front yard which takes full advantage of the north sun.
Full length windows maximise the light inside, and the property is orientated to capture the sun and its warmth in winter, while keeping the home cool in summer with natural breezes.
A fireplace encased in a double-height feature wall in the dining area and a fire pit in the outdoor entertainment area will be popular places to host guests.
Natural materials were used throughout the design.
Ms Gyorodi said the sleek black marble island bench in the kitchen and a marble feature wall with gold specks behind the main bedroom’s freestanding bath were highlights.
“The marble is stunning,” she said. “That was the first thing that grabbed me when I walked in.”
Black and gold feature heavily in the main bedroom’s ensuite.
Other luxury additions include a showcase wine cellar, executive study and C-Bus home automation system, which allows everything to be controlled through an iPad.
The opulent kitchen is another standout, thanks to its top-line Miele appliances including an induction cooktop, steam and pyrolytic ovens, a warming draw, a vacuum sealing drawer and a coffee machine.
Comdain Homes described the former display home as a project that was “artful and daring” and “unique and thoughtful.”
“This design turns traditional thinking on its head,” the home builder stated.
