Only four on the block

With its beautiful street presence and Art Deco architecture, Staunton makes an enchanting first impression along one of South Yarra’s picturesque tree-lined avenues. Behind its striking façade, this three-bedroom residence reveals remarkable scale and intricate period detail, occupying an upper-level position within an exclusive collection of only four, with windows on multiple aspects allowing natural light to move throughout.

Beyond the entrance, the beauty of the era reveals itself in decorative ceilings, original windows, dark timber accents and gleaming floorboards. At the centre, an expansive living/dining room commands attention, where an ornate ceiling and fireplace enhance the impressive proportions, adding to the atmospheric setting.

The stylish kitchen pairs bright cabinetry with ample preparation and storage space alongside a casual meals area, with an abundance of windows that draw in daylight and frame leafy neighbourhood outlooks, adding to the home’s light and inviting ambience.

Three substantial bedrooms embrace the home’s impressive scale, with built-in robes and generous dimensions creating inviting private spaces imbued with period character. A charming bathroom with bath is thoughtfully positioned, while reverse-cycle heating and cooling, a lock-up garage and adjoining storage bring exceptional ease to everyday living.

Beyond its doorstep lies the very best of Melbourne. Stroll to Toorak Village for morning coffee, dinner and boutique shopping, discover the relaxed charms of Hawksburn Village, or escape to nearby Como Park and the picturesque Yarra River trails, with Fawkner Park also within easy reach. Chapel Street, Prahran Market and the Como precinct add to the allure, while Toorak Primary School, Loreto Mandeville Hall and Melbourne Girls Grammar are among the excellent schools nearby. Trams and Hawksburn Station complete an irresistible South Yarra lifestyle.
