Overview

Set at the end of a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac in the prestigious suburb of Toorak, this distinguished circa 1880 solid-brick Victorian residence captivates with generous proportions and enduring period charm. Positioned on an impressive 770 square metre allotment with the rare advantage of dual street frontage, the property blends classical elegance with practical family living.

Approaching through a grand arched entrance and soaring ceilings, the home unfolds into a series of spacious rooms awash with natural light. The expansive formal sitting room, warmed by a gas fireplace, offers an inviting retreat for relaxation or entertaining. Its generous scale is complemented by a well-equipped, sizeable kitchen that seamlessly links to the living and dining areas, creating an ideal hub for daily life and social occasions.

The accommodation is thoughtfully designed for flexibility and comfort. Three spacious bedrooms featuring built-in robes provide ample private quarters, while a versatile separate home office or potential fourth bedroom, alongside an additional study nook, caters perfectly for families or those working from home. Two elegantly appointed bathrooms, including a combined laundry and second bathroom, support the household’s needs.

The property’s outdoor space is a private sanctuary. A deep north-east facing garden, framed by mature trees and extensive bluestone paving, creates a serene, sheltered setting ideal for entertaining, leisure, or family activities. Additional conveniences include ducted heating, abundant storage options, a garden shed, garage, and valuable rear lane access, enhancing functionality and lifestyle.

Comfortable and immediately appealing, the home’s substantial landholding and gracious Victorian proportions offer a strong foundation for further enhancement or renovation, subject to council approval. The location combines exceptional space and convenient access to some of Toorak’s finest lifestyle amenities, including nearby Hawksburn and Toorak Villages, local parks, transport options, and leading educational institutions. This residence embodies a harmonious blend of charm, scale, and location in Melbourne's sought-after inner suburbs.
