Gracing a generous and verdant garden, this classic family residence situated on a wide allotment in this exclusive location, offers a lifestyle of prestige, privacy and charm. Renovated to contemporary standards, it also boasts immediate livability.

In addition to its highly desirable inner city location, this five-bedroom, three bathroom home also evokes the atmosphere of a country estate where established trees and a vine-covered pergola provide wonderful summer shade. Decades in the making, this garden helps create a home that is truly a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Its desirable north-west facing rear captures sunshine across landscaped gardens adding to its considerable appeal.

This home is introduced by a welcoming portico entrance and double gabled facade. With interiors over two levels, authentic period attributes include fireplaces, timber beamed ceilings, leadlight windows and hardwood floors.

Expansively proportioned accommodation includes the formal sitting room with fireplace and glorious front garden views, the formal dining room, fully fitted study and two powder rooms.

The informal living, dining and kitchen is a masterful blend of the classic and the contemporary. From the dishwasher to the oversized cooking range, the abundant cabinetry to the superb use of colour, every element blends perfectly to create a harmonious, layered, timeless look.

The kitchen, with a vast island bench, overlooks the informal dining and living zone where the fireplace is flanked by storage. Double doors open to the garden and paved terraces, perfect for family living and entertaining in the leafy outdoors.

Downstairs, three very generously sized robed bedrooms share a spacious bathroom.

The outstanding accommodation continues upstairs with a large bedroom with ensuite on one side of the central hall. Opposite, a luxurious parents’ retreat includes a sumptuous day bed with tree top views, bedroom with garden vistas and a pristine ensuite with bath and double shower leading to the walk-in wardrobe.

More features of this stunning home are the butler’s pantry, laundry, hydronic heating, abundant storage, electric driveway gates, garage with roof storage and additional off-street parking.

This evocative residence is walking distance to Como Park, Como House and Garden, Toorak Road cafes and shops; Chapel Street and Toorak Village retail and dining and the Yarra River walking trail are also close. Moments from several prestige schools and public transport options. Two trams, South Yarra station and rapid access to the CBD all add to this home’s lifestyle appeal.
