A residence of extraordinary architectural significance, this magnificent five-bedroom, six-bathroom Grace Park Edwardian has undergone a remarkable evolution by Peter Barton Architects and Chic Interiors, establishing one of Hawthorn's most distinguished family residences. Period grandeur has been meticulously preserved while expansive new proportions introduce an elite standard of family living, enriched by imported natural stone, bespoke joinery and beautifully landscaped poolside gardens on a magnificent 985sqm approx. parcel with double lockup garage via rear ROW. Positioned amongst Grace Park's picturesque tree-lined avenues, this landmark residence enjoys peerless access to Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn Village, Fairview Park and the Yarra River parklands, together with Melbourne's leading private schools including MLC, Xavier College, Trinity Grammar, Carey, Ruyton, Scotch College and St Kevin's. Public transport, Swinburne University, boutique cafés and the CBD, all accessible within minutes.
A tessellated return verandah introduces interiors of grand scale, defined by herringbone European oak floors, soaring ceilings and exquisitely restored period detail. An executive study beneath a Murano glass chandelier and an elegant formal sitting room with a marble fireplace and striking Martyn Lawrence Bullard wallpaper precede the open-plan living and dining domain, where spectacular arched steel-framed glazing and soaring sky-lit ceilings form a dramatic architectural centrepiece, bathing the interiors in natural light while creating a seamless connection to the beautifully landscaped gardens beyond. Breccia Capria marble rises through the living area's feature fireplace and gourmet kitchen, where an extensive suite of Miele appliances and integrated Liebherr refrigeration are complemented by a fully equipped butler's kitchen, also appointed with a suite of Miele appliances. Landscaped private gardens continue from the living spaces, offering outstanding entertainment appeal beside a heated self-cleaning pool and spa, a covered pavilion with a plumbed barbecue and a dedicated poolside bathroom.
An upper-level retreat with a kitchenette and balcony offers a spot for quiet retreat, accommodations reflect an unwavering commitment to luxury, led by a lavish north-facing main suite with a bespoke dressing room and indulgent marble-detailed ensuite. Three further bedroom suites also enjoy marble-detailed ensuites with underfloor heating, whilst premium appointments include zoned ducted heating and cooling, architectural lighting, automated irrigation, keyless entry, comprehensive security systems, home automation, EV charging, plus a motorised front gate with additional parking for two vehicles.
