39 Glassford Street, Armadale

Accompanied by rich history, this grand and graceful, late-Edwardian-era residence with its own elevator masterfully pairs period stature with designer flair, resulting in this fine family abode. Striking architectural detail from renowned Architect Mark Simpson of Design Office together with inspired interiors create a home environment unlike any other. An oversized main bedroom with a walk-in robe and chic ensuite is complemented by luxe accommodation above, with bedrooms two, three, and four served by extensive custom cabinetry, a stylish central bathroom, and under-heated guest ensuite. Ground-floor office, sitting room, and back living areas are all wonderful for cosy nights by the fire, while first-class ILVE, Miele, and Liebherr appliances, a butler’s pantry, and ribbon of textured marble all enhance a gourmet kitchen. Reaching from parquet floor to soaring ceiling, metal-frame glass doors streamline flow into a north-facing rear terrace with a pool and total privacy for separation from the world outside. Reached just as seamlessly by elevator and spiral staircase, a remarkable roof terrace lifts appeal beyond compare, while other highlights include security, heating/cooling, gas pool heating, heated towel rails, ornate details, a combined laundry/powder room, lock-up garage, second-storey reader’s retreat, electric-gated driveway parking, and lit, irrigated, and manicured gardens. Steps to famous High Street and quaint Beatty Avenue, city-bound trains and trams, and some of Melbourne’s most revered private schools.
