A modernist masterwork of rare ambition, 'Maxwell Residence' brings uncompromising craftsmanship to one of Toorak's most private settings. Occupying approximately 755sqm in a secluded Toorak cul-de-sac, its expansive interiors are immersed in the privacy of north-facing garden and pool surrounds, with exquisite artisanal finishes and state-of-the-art technology complemented by commercial-grade security and six-car basement garaging. Conceived by award-winning Flack Studio and Richard Blight of Blight, Blight & Blight, and completed by Leone Constructions, it offers generational appeal in a peerless location, discreetly positioned off one of Melbourne's most prestigious boulevards, moments from Toorak Village and leading independent schools.
Designed to maximise privacy, the architecture opens the interiors to private gardens from multiple angles, drawing northern light deep into the residence. Hand-selected European materials and heated travertine flooring extend through the dramatic double-height entry foyer, dominated by an extraordinary oak-clad spiral staircase, hand-carved and installed on site over six months, with a lift connecting all three levels. From the executive library and formal lounge with a wood-burning fireplace, the interiors progress to north-facing living and dining spaces, their full-height glazing opening directly to the landscaped gardens and travertine-edged heated pool. The breathtaking skylit kitchen, finished in honed Cosmic Gold Italian stone, features a comprehensive suite of Gaggenau appliances and Miele refrigeration, followed by a secondary kitchen with three ovens, warming drawers, extensive storage, and an integrated espresso machine. Entertaining continues on the lower level, with a substantial display wine cellar and tasting room adjoining a kitchenette, bathroom and a generously proportioned gym or home theatre.
The upper level comprises four en-suite bedrooms, headlined by a palatial main suite with its own private office, a Cheminée Philippe fireplace, and a leather-panelled bed wall overlooking the leafy surrounds, complemented by a luxurious travertine bathroom. Comprehensively appointed with Lindsey Adelman and Apparatus Studio lighting, Murano Venini chandeliers, hydronic floor heating, 12-zone heating/air conditioning, Sonos audio, cBUS and Control4 automation, state-of-the-art security on a robust commercial-grade UniFi platform, irrigation, EV capability and a six-car garage accessed from the cobblestone side driveway.
