Claiming an extraordinary position on the bend of the Yarra River with uninterrupted views extending upstream, this contemporary residence by Neil Architecture and Stonehaven Homes occupies one of Hawthorn's most remarkable riverfront settings. Encompassing approximately 1,797sqm with direct water access and potential for a private jetty (STCA), every element celebrates its exclusive surroundings.
A monumental pivot door opens to a soaring double-height entrance, where a striking ribbon staircase marks the transition to expansive formal and informal living areas framed by exquisite river outlooks. Engineered timber floors bring warmth underfoot, while banks of skylights filter light through the magnificent 120-year-old Moreton Bay Fig above the dining room and Miele-appointed kitchen, equipped for grand entertaining, with stone benches and a large butler's pantry. Sliding doors extend the living spaces onto a north-facing alfresco terrace with an integrated barbecue, then continue to the fully tiled, solar-heated pool and spa beneath the spectacular leafy canopy. Professionally landscaped gardens encircle the home, descending from an elevated viewing terrace through established native plantings to a fire pit, irrigated vegetable garden and the riverbank, allowing entertaining to extend towards the water.
Overlooking the pool, the lavish ground-floor main suite enjoys direct garden access, a skylit walk-in robe, and a sumptuous ensuite centred on a freestanding bath. A fitted home office or fifth bedroom adjoins a powder room, while upstairs, an additional study and family bathroom are joined by three additional robed bedrooms, including one with an ensuite. Comprehensively appointed with reverse-cycle air-conditioning, double glazing, integrated audio wiring, remote blinds, video intercom, security alarm, Rainbird garden irrigation, laundry, additional powder room, and an internally accessed double garage. All of this is complemented by easy access to Morang Reserve, West Hawthorn's cafés, Bridge Road's renowned restaurants and boutiques, leading schools, Hawthorn Station, city-bound trams and the CBD.
