240 Kooyong Road, Toorak, Vic 3142

Proudly positioned in one of Toorak’s most coveted avenues, this magnificent residence has been expertly reimagined for a new era and now combines classic period elegance with expansive, contemporary living to offer an timeless balance between past and present. 

Designed by esteemed Melbourne architect Travis Walton with landscaping by the renowned Nathan Burkett, this c1940 showpiece has been meticulously transformed into a state-of-the art, sophisticated sanctuary which honours the home’s rich history while setting new standards in luxury, quality and refinement.

Spanning a generous 863 sqm parcel of land, the home benefits from a beautifully mature garden and the home’s spectacular reinvention has been designed to connect with the landscape and magnificent private leafy views.

Outside, two vast entertaining terraces overlook the cascading private outdoor oasis which boasts a sparkling infinity pool with Italian glass tiles, lawn and a private firepit with seating, perfect for convivial evenings under the stars. 

Back inside and the voluminous living, dining and kitchen area is an impressive showpiece.  The gourmet kitchen pairs a statement Calacatta Viola marble island and extensive, soft-close cabinetry with premium Miele and Liebherr appliances. A spacious butler’s pantry with further Liebherr and Miele appliances adds to the considered amenity. 

The expansive living area features extensive built-in cabinetry and a Real Flame log fire to gather around in the colder months and is joined by a second sitting room or home office to offer plenty of flexible space to spread out.  

Four spacious bedrooms - three with sparkling Grigio Orsola marble ensuites - include the palatial master suite which steals the show with its spacious walk-in robe and spectacular ensuite with freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Full width floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open on to a vast private terrace to make this a serene retreat beyond compare.
