Set on a sizeable parcel in one of Toorak Gardens' most sought-after pockets, this C1900 return verandah villa has evolved over time, now a grand family home as generous in its offering of living space as it is in character.
Extended by architect John Waters and revealing itself slowly room to room, the footprint spans up to five bedrooms and multiple living spaces, beginning at both formal lounge and dining rooms that feel particularly nostalgic with their original fireplaces, large proportions and high ceilings.
The numbers alone say this is a home for the family that gathers as much as it grows, with original timber floorboards lying in wait under carpets, ready for their grand revival.
The open plan living area feels just as ready to welcome extended family, with a kitchen at its helm, solid as the day it was built and fitted with the updated functionality of Miele and LG appliances.
Outside, a wraparound verandah opens onto verdant views from every angle - ample lawns, irrigated beds and rambling vines winding down toward an underground cellar, creating a secret garden feel that insulates you from the cosmopolitan buzz just beyond the lofty boundary.
And close by, they truly are - prized inner-eastern schooling, boutique shopping and dining all within easy reach. In a patch of Toorak Gardens that's remained tightly held for over 60 years, it's easy to dream of the next chapter to be written here
