Life in South Yarra is a study in contrasts – morning walks through the Royal Botanic Gardens, afternoons spent poolside in the privacy of your garden, and evenings unfolding in some of Melbourne’s most celebrated dining establishments. Amid it all, this stylish three-bedroom Victorian freestanding residence has been transformed into a contemporary sanctuary, seamlessly linking grand period elegance with a designer vision for light, space, and effortless entertaining, adaptable for any need.
A considered architectural expansion enhances every aspect of the home’s design, respecting its original beauty while introducing a new level of refinement. Ornate ceilings, marble fireplaces, and wide-profile oak floors set a rich foundation, leading to an open-plan living/dining domain where north-facing windows and steel-framed glazing create a striking interplay of light and volume. Glass walls retract to reveal expertly landscaped gardens, a gas-heated pool and spa, and a series of outdoor spaces that capture the evening sun and lush surroundings year-round. A sublime, stone-detailed kitchen with integrated refrigeration, double ovens, and an induction cooktop anchors the space, with a butler’s pantry/laundry extending both storage and practicality with an integrated cooling drawer, ideal for wine or other beverages.
Above, three beautifully appointed bedrooms with double glazing and generous storage include a luxurious main suite flowing to a broad, awning-covered terrace, a dual-vanity ensuite and fitted walk-in robe. A skylit secondary bathroom adds to the sense of scale, while a dedicated study opens onto the traditional front balcony, enjoying the urban lights and morning sun through the trees. Hydronic heating, underfloor heating in bathrooms and the open-plan domain, 6kW solar, alarm system and automatic gate to the side allowing for bike or pram access, and off-street parking complete the offering.
Positioned within walking distance of Toorak Road’s boutiques and fine dining, South Yarra Station, and elite schooling, including Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls’ Grammar and Christ Church Grammar School, this is a home where luxury and lifestyle meet with unmistakable style.
