Replete with old-world charisma while adapted brilliantly for the modern day, this contemporary take on a Toorak classic offers spacious, sophisticated, and altogether sumptuous living in the heart of Melbourne's premier enclave.
Elevated to glance over the area's long-standing trees and timeless architecture, the home's canopies of greenery afford distinction from the outside world, with a wonderfully serene, dual-level interior leaning into the substance and grandeur so synonymous with Toorak abodes. A towering ceiling and herringbone floor create a lasting impression, with a wide hallway winding to introduce superb accommodation and a quiet lounge en route to a brilliant hospitality suite.
Featuring durable stone benches, extensive cabinetry, a large island, fully integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, a 900mm oven, and gas stove, a gourmet kitchen is certain to impress the passionate cook, while a sun-soaked living/dining space spills into a yard kept private by high walls and plant life, tailor-made for blue-sky gatherings, and oriented north for all-day sun.
Serviced by a luxurious central bathroom with a bath over shower, two robe-lined lower bedrooms complement a first-class main suite above, with a considerable bedroom accompanied by a walk-in robe, broad balcony, and ensuite boasting a twin shower and two vanities. A sizeable retreat proves ideal as a professional's workspace, kids' playroom, or teenager's escape, while other highlights of the home include era-typical lacework, leadlight windows, ornate fireplaces, oak parquetry, marble to both bathrooms, ducted heating and cooling, in-ceiling speakers, lounge and living-room gas fireplaces, a European laundry, alarm, and scope to utilise rear lane frontage and park securely off-street.
Perfect for families with prestigious private schools close by and Toorak Primary mere seconds away, it's a short stroll along leafy Mathoura Road to the retail, restaurants, bars, and brunch spots spanning Toorak and Hawksburn Villages, while just metres to quaint Beatty Avenue shops, pristine Como Park, the picturesque Yarra Trail, city-bound trains, and trams passing the day-and-night buzz of Chapel Street on the way to the CBD.
