Historically known as the former Hansen House, and more recently as Moorah House, this c1909 Arts and Crafts residence by A.S. Eggleston holds a distinguished place in Toorak just steps from Toorak Village. Later divided into four flats, it was restored as a family home by Sue Carr of the Carr Design Group for the present owners. Its evocative two-storey facade conveys a stately presence, complemented by modern updates and substantial accommodation, set within landscaped poolside gardens on 847sqm*.
A grand foyer beneath soaring timber-lined ceilings leads across oak floors to a formal living room enriched by leadlight windows, an open fireplace and intricate ceiling detail. Verdant outlooks frame every space, with the adjoining dining room capturing stunning light through a broad bay window and French doors that extend to a red-brick entertainment terrace and swimming pool. Connected to the terrace and pool is an open-plan family room that hosts a granite kitchen appointed with a suite of Miele appliances. Rounding out the downstairs features is a spacious study with integrated library storage.
High timber-lined ceilings continue throughout four bedrooms on the upper floor, headlined by a classic main suite with an open fireplace, built-in robes, and an updated en-suite with a separate marble vanity set against the leafy beauty of the property's landmark Camphor Laurel tree. Equally generous in size, the three remaining bedrooms include a second renovated en-suite bedroom, whilst an additional renovated bathroom, nursery/sewing room/second study and a large rumpus room/fifth bedroom complete an idyllic environment ideally suited for families
Further features include a cellar, powder room, abundant storage, laundry, Daikin heating and cooling, automatic irrigation, garden shed, sophisticated security system and off-street parking behind automatic gates. Sitting within a low-traffic enclave, it offers complete serenity and seclusion for family living, yet is only moments from Toorak and Hawksburn Villages, Como Park, public transport, freeway access and many of Melbourne's leading private schools.
