Step inside a home where the grandeur of a bygone era meets the pinnacle of contemporary luxury. This breathtaking residence, crafted in 1886 and skilfully transformed by award-winning designer Jean D Steele, presents a seamless fusion of master craftsmanship and visionary design a praiseworthy paradise in a coveted pocket of ever-popular Prahran.
Upon entry, you are greeted by the home's sheer sense of scale and light, with ultra-high ceilings and stunning timber floors guiding you through the property's period proportions. Past three double bedrooms, each boasting built-in robes and beautiful open fireplaces, the heart of the home unfolds into an expansive, open-plan living and dining area beneath an impressive sloped ceiling, where natural light streams in through strategically placed skylights and clerestory windows. A chef's dream, the gourmet kitchen features an impressive island bench, exquisite stone benchtops, and a full suite of stainless-steel Miele appliances, while a built-in gas fireplace offers warmth, and bi-fold doors effortlessly dissolve the barrier between inside and out, opening onto a sun-drenched, north-facing deck, ideal for entertaining or everyday alfresco dining.
The main bathroom services the home's accommodation, providing a spa-like sanctuary designed for ultimate relaxation, featuring a blissful freestanding bath, luxurious rainfall shower, and dual, floating timber vanity with storage, illuminated by more skylights. The home's dedication to modern convenience is evident in the big luxuries like off-street carport parking and dedicated study or optional fourth bedroom with ensuite and in the subtle details, like remote-controlled lighting, motorised home theatre screen and projector, and ample storage, including garden sheds and an easily accessible attic via hidden staircase.
Located just a short stroll from the vibrant cafes and boutiques of Chapel Street, the leafy tranquillity of nearby parks, and the convenience of Prahran train station, St Kilda Road and its trams, this is more than just a home, it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, reimagined for a life of unparalleled comfort and sophistication.
