THE DEAL
A bold reinvention of a c.1900 Victorian, this coveted Prahran residence blends heritage character with a deeply considered interior vision — architect-designed, Plume Studio-landscaped and finished to a standard rarely seen.
Ornate cornicing, period fireplaces and soaring ceilings honour the home's origins, while a gracious hallway introduces a series of refined spaces including a sitting room with original arched detailing and a bay window framing the established garden beyond.
At the rear, the home transforms. A vast open-plan living, dining and kitchen domain unfolds behind a bank of three soaring custom timber arched French doors, dissolving the boundary between indoors and the designed garden. Solid American oak floors, a built-in gas fireplace with custom marble base, Falcon Elise six-burner oven, arabescato oyster marble island and Anna Charlesworth plaster sconces. The interior conviction here is immediate and unwavering.
The master suite is privately positioned with custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a window seat and an ensuite appointed with arabescato marble, Murano glass sconces and Astra Walker fittings. Three further bedrooms each hold their own character — one with an ornate period fireplace, two opening directly to private courtyards framed by climbing greenery and seasonal planting. The main bathroom holds the same standard throughout — botticino marble floors, a deep inbuilt bath with arabescato marble surround and venetian plaster walls. Hydronic heating, ducted air conditioning, custom stone-clad, Sisal carpets, Artusi BBQ station and rare off-street parking for two.
SEALS THE DEAL
Location without compromise. Stroll to Baker Bleu, Toscano's and Bistro Thierry. Walk the kids to Victoria Gardens. Five minutes to High Street Armadale. Melbourne's finest schools, the CBD and MCG all within easy reach — yet from the garden, you'd never know it.
