Park Street, where homes are tightly held, is defined by some of Melbourne's finest Victorian architecture. This magnificent three-level residence in the heart of the Botanic Precinct delivers a masterful fusion of heritage beauty and contemporary luxury.
Beyond its ornate cast-iron lacework façade and framed by a rare, original Magnolia tree, the home reveals interiors of remarkable scale and refinement, yet with warmth and a welcoming aesthetic. Soaring ceilings of approximately four metres crown arched hallways, marble fireplaces and exquisitely hand-painted leadlight window. Enduring craftsmanship continues into the formal sitting and dining rooms, adding to the grandeur and offering more sophisticated options for large scale entertaining.
At its heart, the expansive open-plan living and dining domain is bathed in ambient light, flowing seamlessly to an alfresco terrace with world class views of the Melbourne city skyline - the setting is nothing short of breathtaking. The chef's kitchen is appointed to the highest standard, featuring marble and stainless-steel surfaces, an oversized island bench, a suite of black Miele appliances and a fully equipped butler's pantry, designed for effortless living.
Upstairs, the palatial main suite opens to a glorious treetop veranda and is complimented by a boutique-scale dressing room and double ensuite. A second bedroom with its own dressing room and private terrace enjoys similarly spectacular outlooks, accompanied by a luxurious bathroom. The versatile lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a fitted study or fifth bedroom, a separate bathroom, and a secondary bathroom with integrated laundry. On this level is also a private library-style living room with bespoke joinery and rolling ladder, and glass garage door revealing manicured surrounds. A secure two-car garage off the laneway, attic storage and heating and cooling complete a home where every creature comfort counts.
Moments from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Domain Road, the finest private schools and boutiques of Toorak Road, this is a residence of rare distinction in an enviable lifestyle setting.
