1A Gordon Grove, South Yarra, Vic 3141

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.

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.

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.

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.
