THE DEAL

The centrepiece of a cul-de-sac occupied by some of Toorak’s most extraordinary abodes, this landmark residence exudes class, substance, and tasteful extravagance, delivering the absolute height of family luxury in Melbourne’s most prestigious pocket.

A remarkable position between the Yarra and Toorak Village plays host to what is a bona fide feat of architecture, craftsmanship, and execution from Royale Construction and Christopher Doyle. Manicured gardens captivate in an instant, with grand double doors revealing an entrance with a chequerboard stone-and-timber floor, soaring ceiling, oak parquetry, and masses of Tundra Grey Marble for an impression to last a lifetime.

A professional’s office and expansive lounge with a gas fire are introduced en route to a simply sensational entertainer’s domain, with living and dining zones spilling through three sets of French doors to an alfresco tailor-made for the largest gatherings. Lush landscaping and a solar-heated pool transform a wonderfully private backyard into a haven for relaxation and wellness, while a basketball key court gives teenagers the perfect outlet for their energy. The most enthusiastic home chef is certain to fall for a first-class kitchen, with an ultra-wide island accompanied by a Gaggenau induction cooktop, coffee machine, dishwasher, steam oven, and pair of conventional ovens, integrated double Liebherr fridge/freezer, and butler’s pantry with an added Gaggenau gas cooktop and Miele dishwasher.

Kept distinct from living and hospitality spaces, a sun-splashed top level’s sumptuous accommodation is headlined by a master with sweeping views to wake up to, a walk-in robe, and elegant ensuite with a soaker bath. Walk-in robes and ensuites enhance each of three further bedrooms, while an oversized retreat spills onto a covered terrace sublime for evening cocktails taking in Toorak’s signature foliage.

Unlike anything else its river precinct can offer, an elevator and grand marble staircase make travel between storeys completely seamless, linking top to basement where a multipurpose rumpus/theatre room, lavish bathroom, and full-size gym accompany a garage boasting two storerooms and space for at least five prestige cars. Other highlights include comprehensive camera and alarm security, hydronic under-floor heating, ducted/refrigerated heating and cooling, profuse general and attic storage, gas-log fireplaces for warm winter nights, a ground-floor powder room and laundry, plumbed barbecue kitchen, and an abundance of marble both inside and out.

Accessing every convenience Toorak has to offer, it’s near Como Park’s tranquil expanses, waterfront icon Kanteen, Heyington Station, Chapel Street-bound trams, and CityLink for quick CBD and peninsula access, along with elite private schools in St Catherine’s, St Kevin’s, Scotch, Loreto Mandeville, and Geelong Grammar.

SEALS THE DEAL

Rarely does a modern home of such opulence, scale, quality, and grandeur appear between Lansell, Orrong, and St Georges Road in what is, without question, Toorak’s most exclusive enclave.
