OBVIOUS
The Victorian style is timeless. It’s always a pleasure to admire the attention to detail of these freestanding homes — and when they’ve been conserved and restored as well as this one, it almost feels new. Colour. Materiality. Period architecture. The previous owners have successfully transported the quality of that classic craftsmanship through time.
Once inside, beautiful mouldings, copper chandeliers and old picture rails have been restored with a modern immaculate white finish. A colour choice which lets the chevron parquetry floors shine throughout the property. This mesmerising combination of modern and classic aesthetic creates a feeling of tasteful subtle luxury. High ceilings extend into the two large bedrooms — and that seamless contrast of old and new hits again with two original fireplaces. The master bedroom also features a private ensuite with modern marble details and walk-in robe — refined practicality.
The entire property is bathed in natural light: large windows, perfectly positioned skylights and feature glass brick wall in the living and dining. Stainless steel bench tops and island bench anchor the kitchen, with induction cooktops and plenty of space to move. Renovated circa 2002, the layout traditional to the era, with room to grow. Side access runs along the property from the entrance to the laundry door with its convenient clothesline, all the way to the highly desired rear access, decked backyard, and off-street car parking for two. Extra space, extra access, and extra privacy.

SEALS THE DEAL
Conveniency isn’t exclusive to this freestanding house’s floorplan. Nested between the two best villages in Melbourne — Toorak Village and Hawksburn Village — this property gets the best of what both have to offer. And we would know, because for the last 6 years, we’ve called them both home as well.
