Toorak VIC 3142

Classical and contemporary elegance unites in the perfectly private and peaceful setting of this wide freestanding brick Victorian residence complete with a north-facing rear courtyard and secure off-street parking. A magnificent low-maintenance lifestyle opportunity in a prestigious pocket by the Hawksburn Village, this elevated slate-roof home is tucked away behind a leafy high-wall garden for relaxing single-level living in glorious light-filled comfort.

Tall period ceilings lined with original ceiling roses accentuate a graceful interior that's superbly renovated, refined and flexible. An arched hallway leads to a versatile executive study (or excellent bedroom) with a gas fireplace and a front double bedroom (walk-in robe) both with French doors opening onto a columned veranda. Further is a family-size central bathroom, powder room, laundry (ironing station), walk-in storage and a large main bedroom including walk-in robe and a stylish ensuite.

A leafy atrium light-court provides a splash of greenery as the layout extends to an updated gourmet kitchen featuring Miele and Neff appliances, a stone-topped island bench with soft-close drawers that serves a bright casual dining area. Warmed by a HeatnGlo fireplace and double-glazing, a spacious living room with a picturesque outlook flows seamlessly to a secluded north-rear entertainment terrace, low-upkeep garden beds and parking space with wide remote-control door for easy rear access.
