Positioned in one of Hawthorn’s most exclusive riverside streets, this meticulously- crafted home delivers a sense of space, calm and quiet luxury .

Designed by legendary architect Graeme Gunn, built in 1969 and extensively renovated over the ensuing decades, this outstanding home with up to five bedrooms is on the market for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Extensive landscaped surrounds offer complete privacy and security with a swimming pool and outdoor entertaining spaces, while its location is just metres from the wide expanses of Fairview Park and the Yarra River. From the upper level, views sweep beyond the trees to the city skyline.

A true entertainer, this home’s the vast floorplan unfolds from a reception hall to the grand dining and living room with garden vistas through oversized windows, a built-in bar and open fireplace.

The light-filled informal living zone, wrapped in glass and with double height ceilings, includes a Jetmaster fireplace, while the gourmet kitchen has industrial grade stainless steel benchtops, Smeg and Miele appliances and a butler’s pantry.

The main bedroom at the front of the home is a tranquil sanctuary with garden views, a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The versatile floorplan allows for two additional bedrooms downstairs, or a bedroom and a study.

An easy climb upstairs reveals a very substantial living room with a built-in bar. Glass sliders open to a wide balcony with city views including the Eureka Tower. Two more bedrooms and a bathroom complete the upstairs domain.

Additional highlights include the laundry, powder room, plantation shutters, hydronic heating, solar panels, water tanks, an alarm, security system, entrance intercom, in-ground trampoline, double garage plus additional off-street parking.
