Toorak

Once the gardener's residence to the National Trust "Miegunyah" Estate, this gracious solid brick slate-roofed early 1900's residence's sympathetically extended dimensions are idyllically amongst the garden amidst the original established trees of the estate.

Enjoying the seclusion of a private driveway off Lambert Rd, the lines of the evocative original residence have been brilliantly mirrored by the highly regarded architect, Allan Powell designed extension with a cantilevered glass walled section bridging the two brick buildings. Designed to maximise natural light and garden outlooks throughout, timber floors flow through the entrance hall to an impressively proportioned sitting room beneath vaulted ceilings and warmed by a marble open fireplace. Superbly proportioned, the light-filled dining room, with walls of glass to the north and south, appears to float within the garden. Soaring cathedral ceilings accentuate the sense of space in the open plan family room with a gourmet kitchen appointed with marble benches and Gaggenau appliances. The living rooms flow seamlessly between each other when entertaining but French and bi-fold doors allow for separation into more intimate spaces when required. Generous accommodation comprises two downstairs bedrooms and a bathroom and two additional bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Also appointed with an alarm, hydronic heating, powder-room, laundry, auto gates and internally accessed double carport.

A unique part of Toorak's history and delivering an incomparable sense of tranquility, this beautiful home also offers scope to modify further if desired. Land: 523sqm approx.
