69 Greville Street, Prahran, Vic 3181

A masterful convergence of heritage & contemporary design, this double-fronted Hawthorn brick villa stands as a rare offering in one of Prahran’s most coveted tree-lined enclaves. Reimagined by award-winning architect Clare Cousins, the residence is a triumph of restrained luxury, architectural ingenuity, and refined materiality.

Set behind a picturesque Victorian façade and lush, curated gardens by acclaimed landscape designer Kate Seddon, the home immediately establishes a sense of quiet sophistication. A wide hallway—framed by soaring ceilings and pale limed oak flooring—ushers you into a world where history meets innovation with seamless ease.

At the heart of the home, Cousins’ signature sensibility comes to life in a striking north-facing living pavilion. Here, sculptural geometry and tactile finishes are in perfect harmony: a dramatic folding ceiling, fluted glass details, a custom-formed concrete bench with integrated wood burner, and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow define the space. The gourmet kitchen features a Falcon freestanding oven, Miele appliances, hand-crafted concrete surfaces, and extensive bespoke cabinetry—equally suited to intimate dinners or large-scale entertaining.

Full-width sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, revealing a serene, garden—an ideal setting for outdoor dining, shaded repose, or effortless entertaining.

The accommodation is equally considered: three generous bedrooms, each with original period detailing, include a sublime master suite complete with a walk-in robe/dressing room and ensuite. Rendered concrete walls, a sculptural stone vanity, and underfloor heating lend the space both comfort and sculptural appeal. A central bathroom, anchored by a freestanding bath, continues the home’s architectural language with equal drama and finesse.

Additional appointments speak to the home’s commitment to sustainable luxury: hydronic heating, zoned air conditioning, Brodware rumbled brass tapware, a Tesla charger, solar system, rainwater tank, filtered water system, and extensive storage throughout, including attic access. Off-street parking is provided via rear laneway access, with two additional resident permits available.

Perfectly positioned moments from Prahran Market, Greville and Chapel Streets, and an array of vibrant cafes, boutiques and transport links, this singular residence offers a rare opportunity to inhabit a home that is as intelligent as it is beautiful—an urban sanctuary shaped by one of Australia’s most respected architectural voices.
