40 Mackay Street
Prahran

Tastefully transformed into an evocative alfresco entertainers’ oasis courtesy of a recent, architecturally crafted renovation, this superbly appointed, double-fronted period residence presents three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a home office, all in a coveted location on the cusp of Hawksburn Village. With effortless grace, the home introduces a flawless contemporary design initiative to enhance its original period character, creating a home that is richly warm, welcoming and light-filled, in an authentic inner-suburban setting.

With its finely detailed and soaring ceilings firmly in tact, the home flows to an open-plan heart where a Miele-equipped kitchen – with induction cooking and waterfall-edged benches of stone – and dining / living are ambiently warmed by a heated slab of eye-catching polished concrete. Warmed also by a Heat ‘n Glo fireplace and brilliantly light-filled, the open-plan extends outdoors to a vast deck and easy-care gardens that evoke an alluring sense of sanctuary under a grand, established olive tree.

The primary bedroom is a wonderful parental hideaway with walk-in robes and a fully-tiled ensuite with a double shower, plus there is an equally vogue and fully tiled central bathroom to serve the remaining bedrooms. Additional highlights include a naturally lit home office overlooking an internal courtyard and engineered Oak flooring, as well as plantation shutters, security cameras, a laundry, hydronic heating and split system air conditioning for year-round enjoyment.

Walk easily to some terrific local cafes, fine dining, bars and boutique shopping at Hawksburn, as well as trams along Malvern Road and city-bound trains from Hawksburn Railway Station, plus you have all the action of Chapel Street and Prahran Market within easy reach as well.
