24 Hopetoun Road, Toorak

The wide, treelined setting of Hopetoun Road is regarded as one of Toorak and Melbourne's most sought-after lifestyle locations and, with its impressive 858 sq. metre (approx.) dimensions, this secluded mid-century residence represents a rare opportunity with remarkable potential. A high-wall terrace garden with a fishpond introduces the tranquil nature of this established home where a four-bedroom layout and a pool oasis provide current-day comfort and enviable future scope. Decorative ceilings, marble finishes and light-capturing beveled glazing complement a superbly-proportioned, single-level interior where enduring period appeal is perfectly enhanced by ducted heating, split-system air-conditioning, alarm system and video intercom. Secure portico and hallway entrance lead to four spacious bedrooms where two including the main with a walk-in robe offer ensuites while the remaining three feature built-in robes. A northside wing laden with natural light starts with an executive study before an elegant lounge room (gas fireplace), central dining room and a family/meals area on a polished parquetry floor. Adjoining is a solid timber kitchen with Bosch appliances and a breakfast bench, while further is a full-size laundry and separate toilet. Bathing in sunshine at the rear is a gas-heated, salt-chlorinated swimming pool backdropped by a terracotta terrace and leafy garden for private alfresco enjoyment. Also offering a remote-control double carport, this gracious family home is a comfortable foundation for immediate living that resonates with unparalleled possibilities from luxurious designer renovation to building a magnificent new family domain (STCA). Prestigiously positioned in a blue-ribbon lifestyle pocket near private schools, Armadale's vibrant High Street precinct, parklands, train station, trams and CityLink freeway.
