184 Kooyong Road, TOORAK VIC 3142

Designed by Guilford Bell, one of Australia’s most pre-eminent Modernist architects, remarkable Hallow’s House c.1975 is considered an exemplar of the architect’s oeuvre with its stunning proportions illustrating the signature concealment, symmetry, order and restrained minimalism of Bell’s design approach at the height of his career. Changing hands on only a few occasions since its construction, sensitively renovated, upgraded and impeccably cared for, this three-bedroom plus study accommodation not only provides a home of unique style and sophistication in Melbourne’s most prestigious postcode, it presents a rare opportunity to experience a contemporary lifestyle in a “living, breathing” piece of Australian architectural history. Concealed from its blue-chip street front by a large entry forecourt and understated red brick façade, a wide entry foyer introduces a signature rectilinear design in a symmetrical “U” shaped plan around a north-facing feature courtyard. Synonymous with Bell, a beautifully balanced layout of generously sized rooms enjoys a minimalistic aesthetic with crisp, clean lines emphasised by Bell’s brick gallery walls, elevated timber-lined ceilings and tall floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. Each carefully considered room forms its own private indoor/outdoor oasis with living areas unfolding to the north-facing feature courtyard and bedrooms to the extensive paved areas that encircle this extraordinary home. Beyond a broad entry foyer, accommodation includes north-facing living, separate dining and a skilfully renovated contemporary kitchen featuring Miele appliances, twin dish drawer dishwashers and extensive storage, a secluded study with gas fireplace and extensive built-in storage, three bedrooms including two with extensive built-in robes/storage and an incredible main featuring a lavish walk-in robe/dressing room, second walk-in robe and ensuite, nearby bathroom with double vanity, guest powder room and laundry. Further highlights include ducted heating, split cooling, multiple skylights, magnificent timber ceilings and internal doors, two storerooms, intercom entry, internally accessed remote double garage with additional off-street parking. Walk to Toorak Station, Toorak and Malvern Road trams, High Street Armadale, elite private schools including Lauriston, Loreto Mandeville Hall and St Catherine’s with minutes to St Kevin’s, Scotch and Bialik Colleges, the boutiques and shops of Toorak and Hawksburn Villages, Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club and the Monash Freeway.
