10 Leslie Street

Hawthorn VIC 3122

For the young family ready to grow, the downsizer seeking "right-sized" luxury, or the professional demanding a sophisticated lock-and-leave retreat. This home, with high ceilings and a Victorian soul that took a century to earn, is now reimagined for a life of effortless ease. With two distinct living zones and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, there is nothing left to do here but turn the key and live.

THE STORY
Behind the lacework and dappled shade of the front porch, The Sunday House unfolds with unexpected scale. The traditional hallway arched plaster and warm timber leads you past "proper" bedrooms with original fireplaces into a breathtaking architectural heart of the home. Under cathedral ceilings and a flood of natural light, the home opens wide.

The kitchen is the command centre: youre at the island bench, the bifolds are back, and the deck is an extension of this room. Through the servery window, chatter is heard, kids are observed, and coffee is served to those relaxing on the deck. Brunch turns into a late lunch. Festoon lights come on. This is the Sunday.

It is a versatile layout: a quiet second lounge for the professional home office or a parent's retreat, paired with a robust, high-spec finish that handles the energy of a young family or the "lock-up-and-go" needs of couples with boomerang kids.

THE LIFE
Life here is measured in footsteps, not car trips. Glenferrie Roads boutiques and dining are your local pantry. The tram is at your door when the city calls; the Yarra trails are there when it doesn't. Surrounded by Melbournes elite private schools, this is the kind of location families plan for years to secure.

The Sunday House is more than a home; its a lifestyle of curated simplicity. The more life you put in, the more it gives back.
