Exclusively located in one of South Yarra’s most revered tree-lined streets, this sublime, architect-designed masterpiece combines sumptuous, light-filled interiors with contemporary design to deliver an enviable inner-city lifestyle.
Originally designed by the acclaimed architect (and former host of Grand Designs Australia) Peter Maddison, the north-facing, three bedroom plus study town residence has recently undergone a full renovation to enhance and celebrate its meticulous original design.
Securely located behind security gates, the alluring residence has been designed to maximise leafy views and northern light and showcases quality craftsmanship and an inspired use of high-end materials, fixtures and finishes.
Stepping inside, the soaring ceilings and beautiful oak flooring introduce the generous proportions and bright and airy spaces that are the hallmark of this incredible home.
An inviting formal sitting room with a Heat & Glo gas fire is an inviting space to relax and flows gracefully into the airy dining area with a bespoke built-in bar and marble-topped cabinetry.
Keen chefs will enjoy the flawless kitchen which overlooks a lush internal courtyard and boasts a striking marble island bench to gather around, extensive cabinetry and premium Miele appliances including an 90cm-wide induction hob and two ovens.
An adjoining informal meals and living space is bathed in natural light thanks to the breathtaking Crittall-style windows and doors at the rear which increase the connection to the outdoors. A tranquil rear courtyard with built-in seating is an elegant space to relax or entertain guests.
A feature steel and timber staircase leads up to the first floor where three spacious bedrooms include the serene master at the front which boasts a wall of built-in robes, and a magnificent marble ensuite with double vanity. Two further bedrooms with built-in robes share a spacious family bathroom with freestanding bath and the same elevated design as the ensuite.
Superbly finished with a double garage with parking for two cars and storage, study with extensive joinery, two powder rooms, full-size laundry, hydronic heating, air-conditioning, surround sound system and wool carpets, this peaceful sanctuary belies its inner city location.
This incomparable showpiece is conveniently positioned moments from the shops and restaurants of Toorak Road as well as walking distance to the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Tan track, Fawkner Park, Chapel Street and Prahran Market, and with easy access to Melbourne’s finest schools.
