Bordering the lush surroundings of Rockley Gardens on the cusp of Toorak Village, this magnificent freestanding Victorian residence resonates with timeless elegance and an air of enduring sophistication. Set across three grandly proportioned levels, its interiors unfold impeccably, comprising four bedrooms, two refined bathrooms, an ensuite, and two powder rooms. From the soft, neutral tones to the exquisite timber detailing, every element speaks to the home’s grandeur, enhanced by high ceilings, deep cornicing, solid marble mantles, and arch-framed hallways—a seamless fusion of classic allure and contemporary finesse.
From the outset, thoughtful design is evident, with secure automated gates leading to gardens that thoughtfully echo the home’s original architecture. Formal reception rooms, each with marble fireplaces are softly illuminated through an arched bay window and opening to a side verandah via French doors. At the rear, the garden extends to the beauty of Rockley Gardens and features a studio/gym, heated pool, spa, and multiple alfresco dining areas, forming an idyllic escape for year-round relaxation. Draped in lush greenery and fragrant Jasmine, it flows seamlessly from the open-plan living areas, which feature a dual-sided central fireplace and premium polished stone kitchen, becoming the centrepiece for large-scale entertaining.
Upstairs, four substantial and robed bedrooms are highlighted by a luxurious main suite with its lace-trimmed balcony, fitted robes, and vogue ensuite. Every detail has been considered, including hydronic and ducted heating, air conditioning, solar power, automated irrigation, and garden lighting. A lower-level gym/sitting room, wine cellar, and expansive laundry add practical luxury, while secure parking for three vehicles completes this rare offering in one of South Yarra’s most coveted tree-lined streets, with Chapel Street and Toorak Road’s premier dining precincts, Yarra Parklands, the Royal Botanic Gardens, and leading private schools all close at hand. Land size: 585 sqm (approx).
