Toorak VIC 3142

Securely and privately positioned in a peaceful cul-de-sac, this tightly held 1940s Art Deco residence is an exceptional Toorak home, opening to a picturesque paved courtyard terrace and verdant boundaries that create an immediate sense of seclusion. Set between the coveted Hawksburn and Toorak Villages for dining, boutiques and essentials, this distinctive residence offers a balance of private sanctuary and effortless inner-south convenience. Across two beautifully maintained levels, the solid brick faade sets an elegant tone. Original detail has been preserved with care, from leadlight glazing and richly toned timber doors to intricate ceilings that speak to the era. At the entry, a generous and inviting formal living room with a fireplace flows through sliding glass to the front courtyard, making indooroutdoor living feel seamless, while a refined formal dining room creates an additional space to gather.

An updated self-contained rear zone adds outstanding flexibility, featuring its own secure side entry, a kitchen with excellent cabinetry space, a light-filled north-facing family living domain, a laundry with external access and separate WC, plus a bright and private bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Upstairs, the beautifully proportioned main bedroom enjoys treetop outlooks, split-system comfort and built-in robes, complemented by two further bedrooms or a bedroom and study, and a family bathroom with a claw-foot bath and pristine original style.

With heating, cooling, ample storage throughout, and a rear shed, this is an exceptional home for families or professionals seeking period integrity, versatile zoning, and a peaceful, connected lifestyle close to Hawksburn Station, Malvern Road, and Toorak Road trams, leading schools, and nearby gardens and parkland.
