Privately positioned in one of Toorak's most desirable cul-de-sacs, Pattenbringan is a landmark Victorian residence on a substantial 1,887sqm (approx.) estate, offering a rare combination of period architecture, contemporary design and family flexibility.
Transformed by acclaimed designer Lauren Tarrant and featured in Vogue Living, the circa 1881 residence retains ornate plasterwork, gracious sash windows, original fireplaces and timber panelling, complemented by carefully selected materials including wide natural oak floorboards, marble inserts and magnificent arched bronze-steel-framed glass doors.
Set within glorious landscaped gardens by award-winning landscape designer Nathan Burkett, a broad wraparound verandah leads to a grand entry hall with coffered ceiling, leadlight window and marble-hearth fireplace. Garden outlooks extend from almost every room, creating a constant connection with the grounds.
Generous living spaces include a grand dining room with a striking timber-lined ceiling and a serene living room with Heat & Glo gas fireplace opening through glass doors to a west-facing courtyard and garden.
At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen combines sleek integrated cabinetry with a Viola marble island and benchtops, a La Cornue French double oven and Miele appliances, while a curved built-in banquette provides an inviting setting for casual meals. The main bedroom has an elegant bay-windowed sitting area, dressing room and marble ensuite, with two further bedrooms boasting marble ensuites and robes. Positioned near their own entrance, these bedrooms offer flexibility as guest, parents' or staff accommodation.
A glass hallway creates a seamless transition to the new double-storey wing, comprising a living/dining space with second marble kitchen and two upstairs bedrooms with ensuites, walk-in robes, balconies and study nook an exceptionally flexible zone for family living, entertaining, guests or extended family.
The gardens culminate in a heated pool and adjoining al fresco pavilion with cathedral ceiling, gas fireplace and shower room, creating a spectacular setting for year-round entertaining.
Further appointments include hydronic heating, zoned air conditioning, double glazing, alarm, CCTV, video intercom, irrigation, laundry, bluestone wine cellar, four-car garage and off-street parking.
