872 Toorak Road
Hawthorn East

Behind a tall, solid fence and privately set back from Toorak Road, this oversized and sunlit (north facing) two or three bedroom plus study residence occupies the entire ground floor of an Art Deco duplex, delivering all the proportion, privacy and outdoor appeal of a house, but with the added benefit of low maintenance. Rich in character, generous in every dimension and includes double glazing at the front of the home for enhanced comfort and quietness, this is a rare inner-eastern offering, peacefully removed from the street and ideal for everyone from young couples to those looking to downsize in style

.

Beyond a secure portico entry, the home opens to reveal expansive light-letting proportions with finely detailed ceilings, hardwood floors, original steel-framed casement windows and Deco feature lighting, as well as two generous living spaces. The floor plan is flexible, the kitchen is a timeless classic with a Miele oven and dishwasher, granite benches and plenty of period-sensitive cabinetry, all effortlessly connected to its own private, secure and easy-care backyard that is perfect for pet ownership and where built-in bench seating also suits an alfresco entertainer’s life.

The bedrooms are huge and completed by ample built-in robes – indeed, the primary suite offers a full dressing room experience – plus there is a refined heritage-style bathroom, a chic powder room, a fully-equipped home office and a lock-up garage with driveway parking for another four vehicles. Further highlights include ducted heating, split-system air conditioning and plenty of storage.

Walk easily to Coles Tooronga, boutique shopping, Burke Road cafes and vast expanses of parkland, as well as trams, trains from Tooronga Railway Station and easy access to the M1 Freeway, while all the action of Camberwell Junction is just down the road.
