South Yarra

Distinguished by its exquisite Victorian Filigree architecture and extraordinary garden privacy, this elegant c.1885 residence occupies an impressive 340sqm* allotment within South Yarra’s historic Hawksburn Precinct. Impeccably maintained and beautifully proportioned across two levels, its timeless appeal is enhanced by a prized northern orientation, rare off-street parking via ROW, and spectacular views of the surrounding urban lights.

Beyond the high-walled forecourt, a magnificent deep return verandah with tessellated tiles introduces interiors of alluring elegance and period grandeur. The north-west-facing formal sitting room is particularly captivating, with picturesque garden outlooks and integrated joinery, flowing into a grand formal dining room opposite. Bathed in warm northern sun, the relaxed family living and meals area is served by a well-appointed marble kitchen, with an inviting connection to the outdoors making entertaining a pleasure in every season. The broad decked terrace extends to a secluded lower courtyard, creating an idyllic setting for al-fresco dining and entertainment amid peaceful, low-maintenance surrounds.

Three generous, upper-level bedrooms, two of which feature built-in robes and are complemented by two bathrooms, including a large balconied bedroom with glistening high-rise views and a private rear main suite with a sun-drenched en-suite featuring a freestanding clawfoot bath. Additional highlights include ducted heating, hardwood timber flooring, ornate original fireplaces, high ceilings, ample storage, and secure off-street parking via ROW. In one of South Yarra’s most coveted heritage enclaves, it sits within walking distance to Hawksburn Village, Toorak Village, Chapel Street dining and shopping, parklands, tennis facilities and public transport, with zoning for Toorak Primary School and Prahran High School.
