8 Portland Place
South Yarra

Completed only 3 years ago, the brilliant renovation and extension of this gorgeous solid brick period residence has resulted in a sophisticated blend of Victorian charm and bespoke designer style. The perfect inner urban retreat offering in excess of 200sqm of living space, it is an easy stroll to Chapel St and Toorak Rd's retail and restaurant precincts, the Jam Factory and Como Cinemas, Prahran Market, South Yarra station and trams.

The designer's flair is apparent throughout by the artful use of wide dark oak floors, aged brass fittings and exposed feature bricks. An arched hallway introduces a spectacularly proportioned open plan living and dining room with a sublime gourmet kitchen featuring concrete benches and Miele appliances. Bi-fold doors open the living area completely to a private northeast facing garden courtyard, a sunny oasis for al fresco dining. The generous downstairs main bedroom with open fire, built in robe and evocative designer en suite and a second double bedroom with open fire, built in robe and stylish bathroom are matched upstairs by two additional bedrooms with robes and a stunning bathroom.

Creating a lasting impression, this beautiful home also includes an alarm, ducted heating/cooling, double glazing throughout, sub-floor fan ventilation, auto blinds, ample storage and irrigation.
