A rare and remarkable generational opportunity exists to acquire this architecturally significant Toorak residence, ‘Roy Grounds House’. Designed by Sir Roy Grounds as his primary residence in the early 1950s, this modernist icon won the Victorian Architecture Medal in 1954. Having been fastidiously restored to its original state, this masterpiece is viewed as a precursor to Grounds’ best-known public building, the National Gallery of Victoria. A geometrically perfect square solid brick footprint and circular central courtyard define the interior, with captivating natural light highlighting the compelling design. Timber panelling, signature cork wall and floors, vast sheets of glass, clerestory windows and concealed cabinetry feature within the two bedroom, two bathroom floorplan with sliding doors connecting and separating the spaces as needed. Open plan living zones connect with outside, and a well-equipped kitchen with a servery makes for easy entertaining. Includes a laundry, wine cellar, good storage and off street parking for two, in one of Toorak’s most revered treelined locales. The convenience on offer is unmatched with CityLink accessible within minutes, Toorak Village, Como Park, Yarra Trails and Royal South Yarra Lawn Tennis Club.
