Wrapped in nature, seconds to the Village, and nestled in Toorak's most prestigious precinct, this Marcus Martin original stands tall. Reimagined by industry leader Stephen Akehurst, the near-quarter-acre estate promotes subtle grandeur, supreme comfort, and painstaking care for every last detail, fostering an environment of uncompromising, unparalleled luxury.
Beyond a double security entry, charming portico, and enthralling façade, a sumptuous story is told. Dark oak floors, ornate ceilings, splashes of colour, and a garden backdrop let the home be a haven of class and calm, with expansive formal living and dining areas, an executive's study, and tranquil rear family room all perfect complements to a stunning central section. Ribbons of solid marble, tapware from Perrin & Rowe, and a range-topping Lacanche cooker are the statement pieces of a sensational kitchen, accompanied by an oversized preparation area and full integration of three dishwashers, two refrigerators, and a pair of chest freezers.
With its array of sculpted flora, long-standing trees, and pristine feature hedge transforming the abode into a sanctuary away from the world, a magnificent backyard centres around a heated pool, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a luxury villa. A garden lounge offers peace and quiet, open-air and barbecue settings make blue-sky hospitality a joy, and a standalone pool house with its own bathroom doubles as the ideal guest's domain and sixth-bedroom suite.
Atop an elaborate staircase, accommodation is headlined by a main bedroom occupying its own eastern wing, providing a dressing room and walk-in robe, marble ensuite, and sweeping views to wake to. Four further bedrooms are well-served by extensive robe space and two lavish, additional bathrooms, while other highlights include alarm/camera security, bathroom floor and towel-rail heating, hydronic heating panels, zoned heating/cooling, a gas-log fire, open wood fire, temperature-controlled wine cabinet, powder room, large laundry, infrared sauna, and parking for at least six cars across a vast basement and horseshoe driveway.
Central to every Toorak attraction, it's mere footsteps to Village shopping, restaurants, cafés, bars, and boutiques, city trains and trams, evergreen Como Park, picturesque Yarra Trails, and elite schools in St Catherine's, St Kevin's, Loreto Mandeville, and Geelong Grammar, while the Monash streamlines CBD and peninsula commutes.
