This grand single-level residence, one of two, embodies the enduring prestige of its surroundings, balancing its original grandeur with a timeless vision of excellence, claiming a privileged position opposite Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens, where history and refinement meet in a home of rare distinction. Beyond secure landscaped gardens, interiors underpinned with chevron oak and marble flow through a series of beautifully composed spaces, from the formal dining room with its burnished glass bar to multiple living zones designed for every occasion. A media lounge provides a more intimate setting, while two expansive living areas expand to allow connectivity and sophistication.
A Calacatta marble kitchen appointed with high-end European appliances and a butler’s pantry extends the invitation for hosts, flowing through expanses of glass to embrace the garden connection from the family domain. A central alfresco living room leads to a solar-heated indoor pool, incorporating a gym, adjoining powder room and bifold glass doors on either side that enhance the seasonal use. The accommodation is equally refined, headlined by a main suite featuring extensive custom robes, and a generous dual-vanity ensuite with a bath. Four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms include a guest suite with an ensuite. A home office/library with built-in storage and terrace access affords adaptability between rooms.
Premium appointments include hydronic heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, a substantial cellar with a remote-controlled floor trap and two rooms, security and alarm systems, laundry, a remote-controlled double garage, additional parking for two and a collection of original marble fireplaces. This is a rare and prestigious offering, positioned directly opposite the gardens and within walking distance of Melbourne Girls Grammar, Melbourne Grammar, the Yarra River, and some of the city’s finest dining establishments.
