A Contemporary Classic

Commanding a corner of one of South Yarra’s most significant streets, this glorious Nicholas-Day-improved home is imbued with a romance that only a heritage property seems to be able to possess. It is a beautiful blend of classic appeal and modern livability - a place where provenance has been respected, proportion has been protected and potential unlocked perfectly, and it has made for a home that has moved with the times with consummate ease.<br/><br/>Open-plan living flows easily from the elegant living and dining area to the sleek Calacatta marble kitchen. From here, French doors open onto a bluestone terrace with a heated pool, all set in beautifully landscaped, north-facing gardens. Completing the ground floor are a study and formal lounge and dining, plus a generous principal bedroom, and marble ensuite with a freestanding tub, all overlooking the sunny pool area. Upstairs awaits four further bedrooms, two with ensuites, and a family bathroom.<br/><br/>At basement level, the full lifestyle this home has to offer becomes apparent - a home theatre room, an six-car-garage and a wine cellar, with authentic bluestone walls that date back 135 years, sit alongside a gym and guest bedroom, which makes six in total.<br/><br/>All this is just metres from the Yarra River, Royal Botanic Gardens, the boutiques and restaurants of Toorak Road, and some of Melbourne’s most prestigious schools - benefits that ensure South Yarra will remain one of the city’s most sought after suburbs for many years to come.<br/>
