Overview

6 Fulham Avenue

Located in the prestigious Como Park precinct, this circa 1915 Edwardian residence has undergone a remarkable architectural transformation. Originally redesigned by John Wardle and recently refined, the home harmoniously blends classical proportions with contemporary Australian living, offering a rare combination of scale, established gardens, and a turnkey-ready residence. The property is set on a generous allotment of approximately 1073 square meters, featuring lush mature gardens, a north-south oriented pool, and basement garaging that provide exceptional privacy and seclusion.

The interior showcases a luxurious palette of materials including European oak, Italian marble, mosaics, and a striking wall of onyx, complemented by expansive glazing that invites natural light and garden views into each distinct space. Entry is marked by an automatic pivot timber door leading to a skylit gallery with dramatic ceiling heights, currently used as a formal dining area. The kitchen and butler’s pantry are discreetly positioned beyond, equipped with high-end Miele and Smeg appliances and finished with Breccia Capraia marble. The home offers two living areas: a formal lounge adorned with designer wallpaper and an open fireplace, opening via French doors to a deep verandah and sun terrace overlooking the front garden; and a more casual, spacious living room that extends through full-height glass and signature timber screening to landscaped surroundings and a heated, self-cleaning pool finished in smoky green mosaic and framed by mature hydrangeas and established planting.

The principal suite continues the architectural narrative with a glass wall opening directly to the pool area and a stunning Murano glass chandelier. This generous bedroom leads to an exceptional ensuite featuring onyx detailing and richly toned stone, a large walk-in robe beneath skylights, and a spacious study. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms, two with ensuites and balcony access, surround a TV retreat with a built-in desk.

The residence is comprehensively appointed with hydronic heating, air-conditioning, double glazing, motorised blinds, underfloor bathroom heating, a large cellar, mudroom entry, a garage accommodating five or more cars, a gym, extensive storage, and advanced security systems. It is ideally located adjacent to Como House and parkland, within moments of Como Lane Cafe, the Yarra River, Toorak Village, the Palace Cinema, and prestigious schools including Melbourne High School and Melbourne Grammar.
