There is a certain luxury in having nothing left to do. No decisions to make. No details to resolve. No waiting for something to be finished. Just the pleasure of arriving.
At 8 Wallace Avenue, Toorak conveniently located in Toorak Village is an entirely new residence brings together the intimacy of a private home, the refinement of contemporary architecture and the effortless hospitality of a world-class hotel. A rare proposition in one of Melbourne's most established and desirable neighbourhoods, where every element has been thoughtfully considered and every detail beautifully resolved.
Here, design speaks quietly, but with extraordinary confidence. Architecture and Interiors crafted by global architect Tony Battersby (BCS) and landscape architecture by renowned Jack Merlo. Tony and Jack have successfully collaborated on Melbourne's finest homes and apartments together since 2002. Natural stone, beautifully grained timber, gentle architectural curves and an elegant interplay of light and texture create interiors that feel distinctly contemporary yet wonderfully timeless. Nothing competes for attention. Everything belongs. There is an unmistakable sense of harmony throughout, where craftsmanship, proportion and materiality come together with effortless sophistication.
The kitchen is a composition in its own right. A sculptural marble island anchors the space, complemented by bespoke timber cabinetry and an exceptional suite of Gaggenau and Liebherr appliances. Beyond, a separate butler's kitchen allows the rituals of entertaining to unfold effortlessly, with the practicalities discreetly concealed. Generous living and dining spaces flow naturally towards a private outdoor terrace, creating an atmosphere equally suited to an intimate evening for two or a gathering of friends and family. There is a beautiful ease to the way this residence lives, where every space feels inviting, connected and entirely at home.
Three generously appointed bedrooms offer privacy and tranquillity, led by an exquisite principal suite with a substantial walk-in wardrobe and beautifully detailed ensuite. Throughout the bathrooms, richly veined stone, fluted glass, bespoke sculptural fittings and carefully composed palette introduce a more expressive dimension to the architecture. Every finish has been chosen with intention, every space designed to balance beauty with the simple pleasures of everyday living.
Perhaps the greatest luxury, however, is not something you can see. It is the freedom of knowing that everything is taken care of. With dedicated concierge and valet services available Monday to Saturday, 8 Wallace Avenue introduces a level of personal attention more commonly associated with the world's finest private hotels. Arrive when you wish. Leave when you please. Whether Melbourne is your permanent home, a city you return to regularly, or the next chapter in an international life, the experience remains wonderfully uncomplicated.
Spanning approximately 341sqm of beautifully appointed indoor and outdoor space, the residence offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and secure accommodation for two vehicles. The proportions and privacy of a substantial home, without the obligations of maintaining one. This is a residence designed not simply for downsizing, but for living exceptionally well. For those accustomed to the privileges of a large family estate, it presents an opportunity to retain the space, beauty and comfort they value, while gaining something increasingly precious: time.

Beyond the village, Melbourne's celebrated cultural, sporting and culinary experiences await. For those arriving from Sydney, interstate or abroad, it is an introduction to Melbourne at its most personal, sophisticated and effortlessly enjoyable.
