True seclusion of this calibre is increasingly rare to find. Ensconced within ivy-clad walls and verdant gardens on one of Toorak's most tranquil streets, yet moments from public transport, this exceptional 1930s residence occupies a substantial 915sqm (approx) allotment, offering a rare opportunity to rebuild, renovate or simply enjoy as is. Combining poolside living, beautifully zoned family spaces and a rear self-contained studio, the home is united by its enduring period elegance.
Inside, original details such as leadlight windows, coffered ceilings, elegant fireplaces, and lofty proportions speak to an era of meticulous craftsmanship. A secure double-door entry leads to a study or guest bedroom, then to a generous and inviting formal lounge bathed in northern light. Adjacent, an enchanting sunroom wrapped in glazing provides a peaceful retreat, with terrace access to the front garden and pool. Concertina glass doors open to a refined formal dining room, with room to host with ease. Throughout the home, every space has been designed to open for connection or close off for solitude, adapting effortlessly to family life.
At the rear, a spacious skylit open-plan living and dining domain features a sleek updated kitchen with island bench, breakfast bar, premium Bosch appliances and a concealed walk-in pantry. Multi-aspect French doors look out to wraparound paved entertaining areas and beautifully landscaped, private gardens with established borders.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are perfectly zoned for family life. The expansive, northerly sunlit main suite is complemented by a dressing area with walk-in and mirrored robes, and a skylit ensuite with dual vanities and a separate WC. A rear bedroom with its own ensuite enjoys a garden outlook, while two further bedrooms, one with a charming vaulted ceiling and the flexibility to serve as a private study, share a central bathroom with a bathtub.
Beyond the main residence, a rare self-contained studio above the oversized double garage presents a sizeable north-facing room with a dedicated study area, bathroom and climate control, ideal for teenagers, guests, a pool table or creative studio.
Further appointed with ducted heating and cooling throughout, a powder room, plantation shutters, renovated laundry, abundant storage, this is a home where every space has been considered, delivering the perfect balance of togetherness and retreat for the modern family, steeped in the distinctive charm of one of Toorak's most private addresses.
