Overview

Grand Victorian Proportions in a Prestigious Toorak Setting

Privately positioned at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac between Hawksburn and Toorak Villages, this distinguished c1880s solid-brick Victorian delivers exceptional proportions, period character and an impressive 770sqm approx. allotment with dual street frontage. Beyond its broad frontage, a magnificent arched entrance hall and soaring ceilings introduce a series of beautifully proportioned spaces. Three generous bedrooms feature built-in robes, while a separate home office or fourth bedroom and additional study nook provide excellent flexibility for families and those working from home. Two stylish bathrooms complement the accommodation, including a combined second bathroom and laundry. Filled with natural light, the expansive sitting room with gas fireplace provides an inviting formal retreat, while a substantial well-appointed kitchen connects effortlessly with the generous living and dining domain. French and sliding doors extend the home outdoors to a deep, private north-east garden, where extensive bluestone paving and mature established trees create a superb setting for entertaining, relaxing and family life. Additional features include ducted heating, excellent storage, a garden shed, garage and valuable rear lane access. Comfortable and immediately appealing as it stands, the home's substantial landholding and gracious proportions also offer an outstanding foundation for further enhancement or an inspired renovation, subject to council approval. Surrounded by some of Toorak's most sought-after lifestyle amenities, the home is within easy reach of Hawksburn and Toorak Villages, Brookville Park, Orrong Park, Toorak Station, trams and leading schools - combining remarkable space, convenience and enduring Victorian character in a tightly held inner-Melbourne setting.
