7/28 Manningtree Road

Commanding the entire top floor and defined by spectacularly sundrenched outdoor entertaining with city views, this extraordinarily large penthouse offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a fully-equipped home office. Perched above the treetops of one of Hawthorn’s most esteemed streetscapes, the home is offered for the first time in 17 years by its original owners, just moments from the heart of Glenferrie Road. Magnificently proportioned interiors have been crafted without compromise in this home where a sunlit dining and living domain is anchored by a marble kitchen where a full suite of premium Miele appliances – including coffee machine and microwave /oven - is complemented by a Liebherr refrigerator. All with superb Herringbone-style Oak under foot, the home steps out to a huge entertainers’ terrace that basks in lashing of northern sun while wrapping around to frame views of the city skyline. Separate lounge and dining domains offer added versatility, while a fully-equipped home office is a magnificent working space. Extensive built-in cabinetry throughout the penthouse provides exceptional storage and further enhances the home's considered design. The home’s uncompromising approach to security is reflected in its secure video entry, fob-activated elevator and basement parking for three vehicles. Further highlights include a powder room, a laundry and the extensive use of marble in two of the bathrooms, as well as a wine storeroom, five storage cages in the basement, visitor parking for three vehicles and reverse cycle heating / air conditioning. Walk easily to all the excellent cafes, dining options, bars and cinemas of Glenferrie Road, as well as multiple trams and city-bound trains from either Glenferrie or Hawthorn Railway Stations, plus you have a diverse cross section of Melbourne’s most elite private schools all within easy reach of this most coveted family pocket.
