A rare opportunity to acquire the personal residence of acclaimed Melbourne architect Wayne Gillespie, beautifully renewed for contemporary living while preserving the architectural character and vision that make his work so distinctive.
Privately positioned within an exclusive Toorak cul-de-sac, moments from Hawksburn and Toorak Village, this exceptional four-bedroom residence brings together architectural pedigree, sophisticated interiors and award-winning landscape design in a remarkably private, low-maintenance setting.
Originally designed by Gillespie as his own home, the residence reveals an enduring appreciation for natural light, generous proportions and the seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor living. Thoughtfully enhanced by its current owners, the home retains its architectural integrity while embracing contemporary luxury and lifestyle.
Beyond the private driveway and striking entrance, A light-filled gallery introduces beautifully proportioned interiors. Two elegant living spaces, each with an open fireplace, connect effortlessly with adjoining 'outdoor rooms', while the kitchen and dining area are bathed in northern light.
Extensively transformed by ACRE Landscape Architecture, the spectacular gardens and pool provide a lush, private sanctuary. An outdoor kitchen with DCS grill, shaded alfresco entertaining beneath a pergola with electric awning, and solar-heated swimming pool create an exceptional environment for relaxation and entertaining.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen combines refined marble finishes, integrated joinery, generous storage and a suite of premium Miele appliances, including induction cooking, pyrolytic and combination steam ovens.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers a peaceful retreat flowing onto a private balcony. Built-in robes and a luxurious, newly renovated marble ensuite featuring bespoke joinery and a skylight inviting natural light and fresh air. Three additional bedrooms, with balcony flow and built-in robes, share an equally considered family bathroom.
Substantial masonry construction, a concrete upper-floor slab and double glazing provide year-round thermal comfort.
Further appointments include a powder room, expansive laundry, zoned heating and cooling, double glazing, three-phase power, a 7.4kW solar array, monitored security, automated gates, a double garage and additional off-street parking.
Enjoying remarkable tranquillity just moments from Hawksburn Village, Hawksburn Station and Toorak's celebrated shopping and dining precincts, the residence also offers convenient access to leading schools including St Catherine's and St Kevin's.
An architectural original, thoughtfully evolved offering the rare opportunity to live in a home conceived by one of Melbourne's most recognised architects for his private residence.
