11 Canterbury Road, Toorak

Embracing everything Toorak from a leafy cul-de-sac behind Hawksburn Village, this period classic sees tasteful updates carry class and elegance into the modern day. Dovetailing with the period profile Toorak is famous for, a timeless red-brick façade preludes an interior where high, ornate ceilings, fireplaces, leadlight and bow windows, and Baltic pine floors work to keep heritage alive. An inviting hallway winds to further a homely feeling, introducing three substantial bedrooms and a smart bathroom en route to superb rear spaces. A relaxing lounge adjoins a back dining area and kitchen equipped with Neff, Bosch, and AEG appliances, while manicured hedges, a tall tulip tree, and all-day sun prove outstanding for backyard hospitality. Just as brilliant for young families as downsizers and professionals chasing the Toorak lifestyle, other highlights range from excellent robe space to a video intercom, ducted heating, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a full-size laundry, ample street parking, and scope to move straight in while adding value over time. Central to Toorak’s array of amenities, it’s only a short stroll past some of Melbourne’s most remarkable homes to reach elite private schools, parks in every direction, city-bound trains and trams, and the world-class coffee, thriving nightlife, delectable cuisine, and boutique retail spanning Hawksburn Village, Toorak Village, Beatty Avenue, and High Street
