Overview
Nestled discreetly within one of Toorak’s most sought-after cul-de-sacs, this landmark Victorian estate, known as Pattenbringan, offers an exceptional balance of historical elegance and contemporary sophistication across a generous 1,887 square metre parcel. The property artfully combines its 1881 heritage fabric—highlighting ornate plasterwork, original fireplaces, gracious sash windows, and timber panelling—with refined modern touches, including wide natural oak flooring, marble detailing, and impressive bronze-steel framed arched glass doors.
Designed for families seeking a blend of tradition and modern functionality, the residence opens to sweeping landscaped gardens crafted by an award-winning landscaper. A wraparound verandah and extensive garden vistas create an inviting ambiance throughout, encouraging seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Expansive living spaces include a timber-ceilinged dining room and a serene lounge featuring a gas fireplace and garden access, ideal for both relaxed living and formal entertaining.
- A gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, distinguished by integrated cabinetry, a Viola marble island and countertops, and premium appliances such as a La Cornue French double oven and Miele fittings. A built-in curved banquette offers casual dining space, enhancing the kitchen’s livability.
- The main bedroom suite is appointed with a bay-windowed sitting area, dressing room, and exquisite marble ensuite, conveying a luxurious retreat atmosphere. Two additional bedrooms, each with marble ensuites and robes, provide versatile space suitable as guest quarters, staff accommodation, or parents’ rooms, featuring a private entrance for added convenience.
- A contemporary two-storey wing extends the home’s living capacity, with a secondary marble kitchen and living/dining area, plus two upper-level bedrooms each with ensuites, walk-in robes, balconies, and study nooks. This flexible zone adeptly supports multi-generational living, guests, or sophisticated entertaining needs.
- The outdoor environment culminates in a heated swimming pool accompanied by an al fresco pavilion with cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, and shower facilities, setting a spectacular year-round venue for social gatherings.
- Additional high-end appointments include hydronic heating, zoned air conditioning, double glazing, integrated security systems with CCTV and video intercom, irrigation, laundry, a bluestone wine cellar, and ample parking with a four-car garage plus further off-street options.
Despite its secluded setting, the estate benefits from exceptional connectivity, being only metres from Heyington Station and close to prestigious schools such as St Catherine’s and St Kevin’s. The locale also offers easy access to the allure of Toorak Village, with its premium retail, dining, and lifestyle amenities, perfectly complementing the property’s timeless allure and functional excellence.
