Overview
Privately nestled within mature landscaped gardens and elevated to showcase sweeping city views, this architecturally restored 1930s residence by Stephen Akehurst Architects offers a substantial, resort-style family environment on approximately 814 square meters. Located in a prestigious Toorak neighborhood, the property's prime position influences its design, with multiple living spaces oriented to maximize the outlook, complemented by a refined material palette and extensive glazing that enhances the indoor-outdoor connection.
The home features a formal sitting room with an open fireplace and a fully fitted, backlit library, creating a tranquil front zone. Beyond this, the residence opens to the rear, providing expansive living and entertaining areas. The family living and dining spaces are centered around a gas log fireplace and built-in storage, flowing seamlessly into a kitchen distinguished by marble benchtops, a contrasting island, and a Lacanche triple oven. A butler's pantry is situated behind the kitchen, equipped with Sub-Zero refrigeration and an integrated laundry.
A broad terrace extends through seamless glass bi-fold doors, featuring a built-in barbecue and overhead heating, positioned to overlook the pool, landscaped gardens, and the sparkling city skyline beyond. The upper level accommodates four bedrooms and three bathrooms, all finished in marble and fitted with underfloor heating. The luxurious main suite offers uninterrupted city views, access to a wide undercover terrace, a fitted dressing room, a drop-down ceiling TV lift, and a lavish ensuite bathroom.
The self-contained lower level adds versatility, including an ensuite studio, infrared sauna, and direct access to the striking garden and bespoke heated pool and spa. This space can function independently for guests, wellness, or summer use. Additional features include hydronic heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, motorized al-fresco blinds, a display wine cellar, multiple under-house storage rooms, double glazing, integrated sound and security systems, and a double garage.
