Instantly identified by the precise lines and perfect proportions that are the Marcus Martin signatures, this stunning residence reveals the beauty and the benefits of its stellar renovation in one of South Yarra’s most highly desirable settings. The combination of classical elegance and contemporary excellence is beautiful, the manner in which this home has moved with the time is brilliant. Dramatic dark stained Tasmanian oak floorboards beneath high ceilings frame a series of superb downstairs spaces for living, dining and entertaining accompanied by a library that represents a refined retreat while a stainless steel kitchen completely renovated by Osiris Furniture and Joinery features a butler’s pantry and a Wolf stove with two electric ovens. Fabulous family accommodation of six charming bedrooms share the upstairs level with three of the home’s four bathrooms, where Elba marble hand carved basins, Corbusier wall tiles, underfloor heating and bespoke mirror lights reflect an uncompromised commitment to quality. Gas hydronic heating throughout and air conditioning with individual room controls ensure constant comfort throughout this exceptional residence in wonderful gardens originally by Edna Walling, redesigned by Paul Bangay. Secure garage. Moments from the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Yarra River and Toorak Road – yet offering a sublime sense of escape.
