An Iconic Toorak Residence of Timeless Elegance and Contemporary Luxury
Inspections Strictly by Private Appointment at the Advertised Times.
Built in 1891, "Keyham" represents a distinguished single-story Victorian residence with modern living spaces plus both formal and informal entertainment areas. Keyham is one of just 6 remaining Heritage-protected Queen Anne architectural examples in Toorak and is graded as "locally significant with high integrity”. It has been renovated with contemporary additions designed by B.E. Architecture and completed by Visioneer Builders. Situated in a prestigious Toorak enclave, the home is within walking distance of Toorak Village, Geelong Grammar, Como Park, Yarra Riverside, Royal South Yarra Tennis Club and with convenient freeway access.
Spanning approximately 1290 sqm, Keyham makes a striking first impression through its elegant frontage and manicured gardens, with an impressive poolside recreation zone and thoughtfully planned layout that preserves historical character while embracing contemporary spacious living.
Accessed via the charming Creswell-designed gardens, asymmetrical rooflines and tessellated verandah herald a grand interior where historical features flow throughout a functional layout characterised by 4m high ceilings, featuring a spectacular stained-glass skylight within the entry gallery and period marble fireplaces in formal reception and dining spaces, complementing original archways and bay windows.
The layout respects its heritage while supporting modern family life, with a large open kitchen and casual living zone extending to the pool and entertaining area through five bi-folding doors, flooding the interior with daylight, enabling seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The private rear grounds include a 10 meter solar-powered swimming pool and enclosed pavilion with fully equipped kitchen, including Beefeater BBQ, Miele appliances, internal heating, and seating for ten guests, with an Airport-style door opening directly onto the pool area. A six-speaker integrated Sonos audio system enhances the outdoor entertainment space.
Four bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes and access to luxury bathrooms, a skylit principal bathroom with Bisazza finishes, two marble-clad ensuites including in the master suite with underfloor heating.
Bedroom and living zones are enhanced by a light-filled study with fireplace, and a Victorian-period underground bluestone food store that has been transformed into a wine vault and entertainment space, with storage for over 500 bottles.
Finally, utilities include generous underground storage, large family laundry, poolside bathroom and changing room, ducted gas heating throughout, 5 fireplaces and comprehensive security systems. Off-street parking includes a single lockup garage, double covered parking, and extra driveway spaces.
