Quintessential Family Elegance – 150m From Parkland And The Yarra

In an esteemed leafy enclave north of Toorak Village, renovations by three industry luminaries have progressively transformed this c.1925 residence into a home of quintessential family elegance just meters from the Yarra River and Winifred Crescent’s 1.5 acres of scenic parkland. Surrounded by 714sqm (approx.) of private, Paul Bangay designed gardens with pool, generously proportioned luxury interiors retain the signature excellence of their previous Stuart Rattle renovation whilst a more recent extension by Steven Akehurst has added a stunning self-contained loft with bathroom accessed either via the main house or its own separate entry.
Linked by a grand hallway, a formal living domain with gas fireplace, concealed bar and private courtyard is accompanied by impressive formal dining and a separate library with twin built-in desks. An ILVE appointed kitchen with marble benchtops and walk-in pantry serves with finesse before expansive open plan living and dining areas unfold to a picturesque entertaining terrace set within beautiful, totally private gardens with the pool as their centerpiece. Upstairs, four oversized bedrooms with walk-in/built-in robes include two served by a marble bathroom, one with ensuite, and the main bedroom featuring walk-in robe/dressing with extensive storage and double ensuite.
Further highlights include ground floor powder room, family laundry with European style drying room, ducted heating/cooling, high ceilings and extensive storage throughout, alarm, return driveway with turntable providing additional parking for up to six vehicles plus internally accessed remote double garage.
Walk only 150m to 1.5 acres of Winifred Crescent parkland, the Yarra River and its bike/walking paths, enjoy an easy stroll to Toorak Village shopping and dining, Toorak Road trams, Como Park, Royal South Yarra Lawn Tennis Club, Toorak Primary and Geelong Grammar School Toorak with easy access to elite private schools including St Kevin’s College, St Catherine’s and Loreto Mandeville Hall, and the Monash Freeway.
