Completely unique, originally built in the 1930s and renovated in an elegant French-inspired style using a striking blend of imported and local materials, this freestanding home sits in a prized position walking distance to the Royal Botanic Gardens. Grand proportions, high ceilings and period features are complemented by contemporary appointments such as plantation shutters, heating and cooling, and carport parking, while gleaming timber floors and French parquetry borders add continuity throughout. A graceful formal living and dining room leads to the well-appointed kitchen and casual dining zone where French doors open to the beautifully private west-facing terrace with exquisite garden borders. Ascend the freeform staircase to the first floor where a palatial main bedroom suite comes with a bathroom featuring luxurious marble slab and a spa bath, built in robes and an adjoining dressing room, as well as a lift from the ground floor. A second bedroom features built in robes, and a generous ground floor third bedroom is currently used as a fully fitted home office. Includes a Euro laundry, powder room and chic main bathroom, water tanks, a shed and rear access via Airlie Bank Lane. Additional features include French style fireplaces, wrought iron gates, reclaimed timber doors and an iron and glass Paris Metro-style shelter that serves as the entrance portico, confirming the compelling appeal of this design-significant home once featured in Vogue Living. Walk to the Domain Precinct, Toorak Road, the Main Yarra Trail and the MCG.
