51A Hawthorn Grove, Hawthorn

Widely regarded as one of Hawthorn’s most distinguished treelined boulevards just moments to leading private schools, Hawthorn Grove occupies an elite position in Grace Park environs defined by architectural pedigree, generational ownership and enduring blue-chip prestige. Setting a new precedent in bespoke contemporary design, this expansive family domain from Herbert & Howes upends convention with an unwavering commitment to luxury, entertainment and landmark distinction. Set on a deep north-facing rear allotment that draws in natural light throughout the day, a beautifully-composed Krause brick façade creates an extraordinary first impression both timeless and patently modern ushering in new era of Hawthorn family excellence over three remarkable levels connected by a large-format lift. Carefully curated zones dedicated to sophisticated living, grand-scale entertaining and family wellness are all executed with exceptional craftsmanship and clarity of vision. A dramatic arrival where a sculptural circular staircase rises as a striking architectural centrepiece and a grand fire-side lounge unfolds beneath a soaring six-metre ceiling creates an immediate sense of occasion, preceding a refined executive study, a guest bedroom suite and a stylish powder room. Accompanied by a superb retreat, upstairs accommodation of four deluxe ensuite bedrooms is highlighted by a magnificent main suite where a wall of glazing captures northerly light before a large customised walk-in robe and a beautiful designer ensuite with a freestanding stone bath, fluted-glass shower and stone-finished double vanity. A private leisure sanctuary of exceptional scale, the entire lower level is devoted to indulgence, wellbeing and recreation. A gold-class calibre cinema with full surround-sound and integrated marble bar adjoining a 1200-bottle wine cellar creates an extraordinary entertaining experience, while a fully-equipped gym and steam sauna deliver a true spa-quality retreat. Further is a mudroom, workshop, extensive storage and secure remote-control five-car garaging with EV charging points.
