THE DEAL
Framed by towering palms and wrapped in high-hedged gardens, this Art Deco estate recalls the romance of old Hollywood, complete with a full-sized north-south tennis court and a pool that feels lifted straight from the Beverly Hills Hotel. Positioned across 1805sqm (approx) on the Golden Mile, the sense of privacy is immediate, and the scale unmistakable. The curved façade, formal symmetry, and lush surroundings lend a deeply alluring quality, while deep setbacks and garden density create a calm rarely associated with such a prominent address.
Hidden from view, there's a mystery here that adds to the enchantment. It feels grand and grounded with ornate ironwork and original parquetry carrying through a series of expansive rooms. A generous summer room gives way to a series of formal living and dining spaces graced with open fireplaces, lush garden outlooks and light that shifts throughout the day. There's transparency in how it functions, with streamlined, yet defined zones allowing for connection and personal space to coexist.
The kitchen is designed to serve, wrapped in American oak joinery, and appointed with Gaggenau appliances, granite benches, and clear views over the tennis court. Beyond, the main suite evokes the era's indulgence, opening through French doors to the pool terrace, featuring full-height robes and a modernised dual-access ensuite. Three further bedrooms, including a guest room at the rear, share a central bathroom and additional powder room, supported by a spacious laundry and mudroom.
Beside the court and entirely self-contained, the studio holds rare flexibility. With a bathroom, kitchenette and decommissioned cedar-lined sauna, it suits guest use or recreation now, with clear scope for future development. Alarm, ducted heating and cooling, keypad and remote-controlled iron gates, dual crossovers with drive-in and drive-out access and a double garage ensure excellence, while proximity to Grimwade Grammar, Caulfield Grammar, Leibler Yavneh College, Shelford Girls' Grammar and Glen Eira College positions it squarely within an elite schooling belt.
SEALS THE DEAL
An iconic estate with landmark presence and total privacy, held across a rare corner parcel close to Hawthorn Road cafés, Caulfield Village shopping, and trams on routes 3, 16 and 64.
