2/22 Verdant Avenue

Toorak VIC 3142

Why are leafy surrounds good? What makes Verdant Avenue so special? Why do agents always say "architecturally designed" when homes should be all designed by architects? In one of Toorak's most sought-after streets, this English-style Townhouse is ready to answer all of those questions for you. The benefits of living in Verdant Avenue are obvious, whether you are walking from Toorak Village (10 min) or Yarra River (5 min). Wandering under the canopy alongside Royal South Yarra Tennis Club, you get a sense that both the location and leafy surrounds are good for your health. Once you arrive at the architecturally renovated and incredibly private town residence, it becomes obvious that "architecturally renovated" is just property speak for thoughtful. Someone with an eye for detail, personality and practicality that can match both function and form has been thoughtful in their approach to modernising this beautiful 1930's townhouse (Gail Long Architects are that someone). But it wasn't just the renovations that have made this place so special; the bones were always good. High ceilings and generous proportions give you the feeling of a larger house, but this one comes without all the maintenance. It retains the charm of a bygone era while positioning itself perfectly for a modern, flexible lifestyle within a floorplan that can meet you where you are in life. The stunning galley kitchen overlooking the north facing courtyard and fountain add the wow factor and entertaining flexibility that is so rare. With the clever use of stackable glass windows built into the inside and out Calacutta marble bench, you can pour a drink or grab a plate while still being part of the conversation. These things are important, particularly when dinner can spill out from the formal dining into the outside space with such ease. The huge bedrooms upstairs, extra study space and storage plus all the little things you would expect from a Toorak address are worth taking the time to inspect. Other features include marble kitchen with Miele appliances, spacious living room with open fireplace, large main bedroom with walk in robe & ensuite, second bedroom with robes and ensuite, separate study, separate laundry, gas ducted heating, air-conditioning, alarm and single remote garage. This stunning residence is a rare offering in a very private group of three.Further enhanced by being close to some of Melbourne's finest schools including Glamorgan Geelong Grammar ELC and Primary, St Catherines and Loretto Mandeville Hall. Offering easy access to public transport and CityLink for accessing the CBD or a weekend getaway.
