A modern, open-plan family domain is highlighted by a light filled space leading to a private north facing leafy garden with large deck perfect for relaxation and entertaining. Blending timeless character with contemporary comfort, this Victorian home is entirely modern and move-in ready today, while offering incredible scope for the future. Seamlessly transition into the current stylish spaces, with the added advantage of concept plans already drawn up to further elevate and innovate the property when you are ready (STCA). An iconic tuck-pointed brick façade and ornamental parapet precedes an interior of timeless proportions and period integrity with a tessellated tile iron lacework veranda, Baltic Pine floors throughout and an arched hallway, soaring ceilings with roses, decorative cornices and coloured leadlight glass. The floorplan features a formal sitting room/bedroom with paired arched windows and two further north facing bedrooms, both of generous scale. This noteworthy residence is superbly positioned in one of Toorak's most prized streets, offering an exceptional lifestyle with 'walk to' access to both Toorak and Hawksburn villages. Public transport, recreational facilities, off-leash dog parks and a selection of Melbourne's finest schools are all conveniently close by. Other features include an alarm, marble fireplaces, gas heating, a large remote door double carport (upgradable to three cars) via broad rear lane access.
