Occupying a magnificent garden allotment with triple street frontage and secure garaging via Malcolm Street, this double-fronted Hawthorn Brick Victorian residence carries a depth of history and prestige. Set along one of South Yarra’s most revered tree-lined avenues within beautiful, established gardens, the single-level floor plan unfolds through expertly renewed interiors, offering up to four adaptable bedrooms and a secluded poolside domain where the evening urban lights form a luminous and contrasting backdrop to its lush serenity.
Exceptional versatility, beauty and natural light unfold inside, with ceilings rising to 3.8m within the wide entry hall. Engineered oak lines the floors, leading to three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a larger main suite with a fitted walk-in robe and a skylit en-suite. A gorgeous bay-windowed sitting room captures idyllic garden aspects, with period details enriching most rooms, enhanced by original leadlight and ornate fireplaces. A steel-framed glass door creates clear zoning, shifting from restful spaces to vibrant entertaining areas, flowing effortlessly past a north-facing formal dining room that offers incredible adaptability. A gas fire and the tranquillity of the rear north-west gardens heighten the atmosphere, joined by a superbly appointed Miele kitchen finished with crisp white stone, integrated refrigeration and extensive concealed storage. Full-width sliding glass frames the private, decked alfresco, where towering trees and cascades of Boston Ivy and Silver Virginia Creeper form a lush setting for outdoor living, extending to an upper level featuring a plunge pool and plumbed BBQ, creating an exclusive and inviting retreat.
Further highlights include a plunge pool, underhouse storage, cellar/workshop, EV provisions, ducted hydronic heating and air conditioning, within an easy stroll to Vogue shopping centre, Palace Cinemas, multiple tram routes, South Yarra Station, the Yarra River and Toorak Road’s fine dining precinct. It’s also within easy proximity of leading schools, including Melbourne High School, Melbourne Girls’ Grammar, Christ Church Grammar School and Wesley College, with the Royal Botanic Gardens and the CBD only minutes away.
