It's all about location, and "Mandalay" has it in abundance. Tucked away in the exclusive and tightly held "Paris end" of the cul-de-sac, this magnificent c1911 Federation residence enjoys one of the most coveted addresses in the area. A rare offering, this home places you just moments from Toorak Road and Chapel Street, Como Park, Rockley Gardens, elite private schools, and both tram and train access all while offering exceptional privacy and tranquillity.
Architecturally reimagined by award-winning Dale Fisher, this grand home effortlessly blends timeless elegance with contemporary family living across a sprawling 984sqm (approx.). With luxurious finishes, adaptable spaces, and room to grow, it's a true sanctuary in the heart of Melbourne's most desirable precinct.
Beyond the broad return veranda, a striking hexagonal reception hall sets the tone for the light-filled interiors. Wide Victorian Ash floors, soaring ceilings, steel-framed doors, Carrara marble, and limestone finishes combine to create an atmosphere of refined sophistication. The executive study/library and elegant sitting/media room with original leadlight windows offer flexible options for work or relaxation.
At the heart of the home, an expansive living room and conservatory-style dining area flow seamlessly to the north-east landscaped garden, where a bluestone terrace, firepit with built-in seating, BBQ, and gas-heated pool and spa provide the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The chef's kitchen is a showstopper, with a 3.5m marble island, Wolf oven with teppanyaki plate, Sub-Zero refrigeration, butler's pantry, and mud room tailored for entertaining and everyday family life.
Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned, with a serene ground-floor main suite featuring a bay window, marble fireplace, walk-in robe, and luxurious ensuite. Upstairs, the children's wing includes four generously sized bedrooms, two stylish bathrooms, and a rumpus room with ensuite and separate entry perfect for teens, guests, or multi-generational living.
With premium inclusions like zoned heating/cooling, smart automation, heated bathroom floors, rain-sensor skylights, irrigation, 25,000L water tank, security, and garaging for two (plus off-street parking for five), this home leaves nothing to be desired.
"Mandalay" isn't just a home it's a statement of prestige, lifestyle, and impeccable location.
