A remarkable architectural achievement by internationally acclaimed practice K2LD, this block-fronted Victorian seamlessly fuses heritage elegance with breathtaking contemporary design. Fully rebuilt on new slab foundations, its refined proportions, bespoke finishes and intelligent functionality deliver a home of rare calibre in a peaceful blue-chip cul-de-sac.

A skylit entrance hall with wide French oak floors flows past a custom study nook to an expansive open-plan living and dining domain beneath soaring ceilings and clerestory glazing. A marble-framed gas fireplace forms a striking focal point, while full-height stacking glass doors connect effortlessly to a private, professionally landscaped garden and entertaining deck complete with integrated natural gas BBQ.

The architect-designed kitchen is both sculptural and highly functional, centred around a 4m waterfall marble island and appointed with a full suite of integrated Gaggenau appliances. Custom joinery, flush detailing and refined material selections reinforce the home’s commitment to enduring quality over trend.

Privately positioned on the ground floor, the main suite offers a boutique-hotel experience with bespoke integrated joinery, a custom walk-in robe and a natural stone ensuite featuring double rain showers, underfloor heating and a dramatic skylit ceiling above the shower.

Upstairs, two generous bedrooms are served by a stunning skylit bathroom with double shower, built-in bath and natural stone finishes with under floor heating.

Comprehensively appointed, the home includes double glazed windows and skylights throughout, zoned Daikin heating/cooling with smart control, motorised window furnishings, CCTV and alarm security, substantial attic and underground storage, and secure key-alike access.

Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac moments from Hawthorn Station, trams, West Hawthorn Village, leading schools and parkland, this is a rare turnkey opportunity to secure uncompromising luxury in a tightly held pocket.
