Perched within the prestigious postcode of Toorak Gardens and set well back behind high brick walls and a statement double-door driveway, sweeping lawns and leafy feature trees create a storybook arrival that feels worlds away from the everyday. Designed and built in 1913 for noted South Australian draftsman Frederick Krichauff and cherished by just five owners since, the home stands as a proud testament to enduring craftsmanship. Terracotta roof tiles, cedar shingles once used as ships' ballast, a grand arched doorway with leadlight glazing and a hooded bay window shape a façade rich with architectural poetry. Step inside and the magic deepens. A lofty, light-filled foyer unfolds into stately formal lounge and dining rooms where soaring ceilings, panelled walls, re-marbled fireplaces and solid timber floors create an undeniable sense of warmth. But the impression is these rooms aren't only for show - they're spaces designed for connection, celebration and effortless everyday living. A private study adjoins the lounge, while a cleverly repositioned laundry and mudroom accessed via the carport reflect thoughtful modern consideration woven seamlessly into historic bones. At the heart of the home, a spectacular redesign anchors open-plan entertaining in free-flowing contemporary elegance. Limestone flagstones underfoot and a showstopping kitchen set to London Pink marble benchtops invite loved ones to gather and graze, while a top-of-the-line electric AGA oven inspires culinary creation. Sun-soaked gallery windows and French doors frame this social domain before spilling out to a vine-covered patio; the ultimate backdrop for long lunches, poolside laughter, family tennis matches and balmy twilight evenings under the stars. Upstairs, family living finds its rhythm. Three generous children's bedrooms, adjoining study/playroom, and two bespoke bathrooms create comfort and convenience, while the indulgent master wing offers a parental sanctuary with dual walk-in robes and a sparkling private ensuite. Significant upgrades to plumbing, electrics, pool, driveway and gardens ensure peace of mind, and with the home's major restorations complete, the remaining interior is a stunning example of heritage meets contemporary family living. Grand in scale, rich in romance and refined through sophisticated renovation, this near 1,800sqm estate is more than a home - it's a legacy property poised for its next chapter.
