Overview

Situated on an elevated 651 sqm north-facing allotment, this award-winning contemporary residence offers a unique blend of architectural brilliance and lifestyle appeal. Designed by renowned architects and celebrated with the Australian Institute of Architect's Victorian House of the Year in 2004, its wrap-around concept ensures that every room is framed by either lush gardens or stunning city vistas, creating a tranquil yet inspiring environment.

The heart of the home is a magnificent open plan living and dining area beneath soaring double-height ceilings, featuring hydronic heated polished concrete floors that combine modern convenience with timeless style. A gourmet Miele kitchen is appointed with Corian benches and bespoke joinery, alongside an open fireplace that enhances the ambiance. Expansive glazing on two sides connects indoor spaces seamlessly with a broad wisteria-covered pergola and a private landscaped garden oasis, ideal for entertaining with a generous BBQ deck.

Flexible accommodation includes a versatile bedroom or second living room enjoying city views, sharing a bathroom with a second double bedroom equipped with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom is a private retreat on its own level, boasting panoramic city outlooks, built-in robes, a luxurious ensuite with a spa bath, a dedicated home office, and a sun-facing terrace that captures natural light and offers a peaceful escape.

Located within close proximity to Toorak Village, Como Park, Royal South Yarra Tennis Club, the Yarra River, prestigious schools, and transport links including Toorak Road trams, this property combines exclusivity with accessibility. Additional features encompass designer lighting, alarm system, video intercom, reverse cycle air-conditioning, ducted vacuum, powder room, laundry facilities, irrigation, water tank, ample storage, garden shed, and an internally accessed double garage, supporting a comfortable and secure lifestyle.

Beyond its current splendor, the elevated site presents significant potential for future redevelopment, offering an outstanding opportunity to design and build a new luxury residence (subject to council approval) that maximizes the spectacular city skyline views and prized northern aspect.
