Featuring R.O.W access, this meticulously planned and masterfully executed, architect's-own renovation of this solid brick, three bedroom Victorian residence has tastefully updated its exquisite original character with an unashamedly contemporary sense of style. With a grand sense of proportion and a bold al fresco spirit, the home flows towards an open-plan rear and outdoor living that richly embraces all the natural light of its privileged northern orientation.

Under towering ceilings, the kitchen is appointed with marble benches and quality appliances, while open-plan living flows effortlessly to paved outdoor living, where built-in bench seating, generous garden shed and a BBQ area (A repurposed garage) are added highlights. Meanwhile, the master bedroom has been transformed into a vogue pamper-zone with its own ensuite and each of the bedrooms has been appointed with volumes of custom-built robe storage. No detail has been overlooked in this impeccable home as it reveals a fully-tiled showpiece bathroom, a European laundry and all the brilliant storage initiatives that are the signature of an architect design.

Walk to so much from this pivotal position: the cafes of both Hawksburn Village and Toorak Village, all the action of Toorak Rd and Chapel St, as well as Prahran Market, Como Park, the Number 8 tram and trains from Hawksburn Railway Station.
