22 Church Street, Toorak, Vic 3142

Architecture, at its most refined, shapes how one room speaks to the next and the quiet sense of permanence it leaves behind. In a peaceful, low-traffic street on the edge of the Glenferrie Road precinct, this distinguished residence on 828sqm (approx) does just that. Carrying itself with grace, yet modernised within a four-bedroom, three-bathroom layout, it offers an unparalleled opportunity in a prized setting, with an expansive pool and landscaped surrounds.

Proportions of this era lend themselves to a certain grandeur, with 12-foot ceilings, intricate plasterwork, and deep archways forming a framework for elegant living. Dappled light filters through from the garden, casting shifting patterns across interconnected spaces, including formal sitting and dining areas defined by ornate fireplaces. French doors link effortlessly to a wraparound verandah, echoing the beauty of the adjacent main bedroom, with a striking bay window, a walk-in robe and an ensuite. Two additional bedrooms share a central bathroom, with one extending to the rear garden. Soaring skylights bring a heightened awareness of light to the open-plan living and dining domains, where underfloor heating, a gas fireplace, and a finely appointed kitchen with a walk-in pantry form a relaxed and inviting entertainer's domain. Beyond, a wisteria-draped arbour provides an evocative backdrop for outdoor dining, accompanied by a solar-heated 10.5-metre pool, and an independent, self-contained dual-level apartment with separate access.

Appointed with hydronic heating, ducted reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a comprehensive laundry, home office/sunroom, security, and abundant storage inside and out. A residence of enduring significance, with the scope to extend up, further update or personalise with no heritage (STCA), within easy reach of Toorak, Kooyong and Malvern stations, Glenferrie Road trams, revered shopping precincts, and leading schools, including Lauriston Girls’ School, MLC, Xavier, Bialik College, Scotch, St Kevins, St Catherine’s, ArmadalePrimary, Loreto, and De La Salle College.
