A landmark of Wayne Gillespie's distinctive architectural language, this exceptional Toorak residence unites considered modernism, exceptional privacy and an extraordinary sense of family luxury. Introduced under soaring double-height void and by a huge showpiece skylight and retractable blind, the home celebrates light and proportion across a generous double storey floorplan, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully-equipped home office and a sundrenched alfresco flow that culminates in lavish poolside entertaining.
At its heart, the home's vast open-plan kitchen, dining and living domain is conceived both for everyday family life and large-scale entertaining. Tundra limestone surfaces lend a quietly luxurious edge to the Neff and Miele appointed kitchen, while vast expanses of glass draw the northern light deep inside. The indoor-outdoor divide is dissolved as guests are invited to step outdoors to a paved living area that is partly protected by a louvred roof. Beyond, a remarkably private, sundrenched swimming pool and spa create a resort-like sanctuary that feels wonderfully removed from the rest of the world.
A formal dining room sits semi-attached to the open-plan, providing a more intimate setting for dinners and celebrations as well as the capacity to open-up and welcome a crowd - while a separate lounge is warmed by a gas log fire place and backed by four sets of double doors that create another beautiful outdoor connection to the front garden. Meanwhile, a fully-equipped home office is a genuine asset, wrapped in custom joinery to blissfully blur the line between working and home spaces.
Opening to a serene terrace that overlooks the swimming pool, the primary bedroom is a genuine parental sanctuary with its own dressing room and a fully-tiled five-star ensuite, whilst the other bedrooms are also generously scaled, appointed with built-in robes and one with a built-in desk. Further highlights include an internally accessed double garage with securely gated driveway parking, as well as a trademark Gillespie upstairs laundry, intercom entry, a security alarm, central and zoned in-floor heating and air conditioning.
Nestled between Beatty Avenue, Hawksburn Village and Toorak Village, with Orrong Park just around the corner, the home is perfectly situated to enjoy all the celebrated highlights of a Toorak lifestyle, whilst multiple trams and trains from Toorak Railway Station offer easy access to the CBD and elite private schools.
