With 10 children, the owners of this Highton home decided to build a palatial 100sqm house with 10 bedrooms.
Yes, that’s right, 10 bedrooms – plus four living areas, a 15-seat theatre and a gymnasium.
Buxton selling agent Carl McCann is promoting the remarkable home as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase an extraordinary residence that you will never outgrow”.
The home at 80-84 Grantham Dr, Highton, is selling with price hopes from $3.8m to $4.1m.

Built by Malishev five years ago, the sprawling home sits on an elevated corner allotment of 1513sqm where it enjoys views across Highton and is within walking distance of neighbourhood parks and reserves.
While breathtaking in its size, the facade reveals an elegance and is softened by beautiful landscaped gardens.
Let’s step inside.
The entrance is a showcase for a beautiful wide and winding timber staircase that leads to the second floor, which captures views of the surrounding hills.
Moving through to the main open-plan living and dining area, the quality and scale of this home is again clear to see.
Three three-seat sofas and a 12-seat dining table fits easily in this space.
The black and white kitchen is stunning.
It has a large island bench with a waterfall stone benchtop as its centrepiece and many high-end appliances.
There are four Miele ovens, two integrated Miele dishwashers, two integrated fridges, an induction cooktop and a butler’s pantry.
There’s also an outdoor kitchen.
Glass sliding doors open from the living room to the outdoor area that overlooks the paved pool and spa area.
It has a six-burner barbecue, a gas cooktop, a sink and fridge, heating and outdoor blinds.
It’s a great entertaining area all-year round.
Of the 10 bedrooms, the master suite is the most opulent.
It occupies its own wing and has large walk-in wardrobes and an ensuite with a spa bath.
The rear bedroom wing of the house hosts a further nine bedrooms, which all have built-in wardrobes. Six of these also have ensuites.
A third living area in this bedroom wing provides a great space for teenagers to retreat.
The fourth living room is downstairs, along with the 15-seat soundproof cinema and gymnasium. Two double garages have direct access to this floor.
While this home was custom-built for a large family, Mr McCann says it will also suit a buyers looking for a property that can cater for multi-generational living.
“For anyone who has grandparents in tow, it’s absolutely perfect,” he says.
“There are multiple living zones, so everyone can have their own space, but they can be around to enjoy the family and for babysitting duties.”
