Quietly nestled in the most desirable of Toorak streetscapes, this contemporary showpiece epitomises avant-garde design and flow.

Originally crafted by celebrated architect Neil Clerehan, the striking residence has been extensively reimagined by Chris Connell Design, drawing influence from Belgian and Japanese minimalism. Infinitely compelling, an assured façade sees a heavyweight FritsJurgens pivot door reveal a broad entry hall, with pale hues and generous proportions setting a calming tone. Displaying shadow lines and square-set ceilings, a sumptuous interior spans two tasteful levels, merged by a feature spiral staircase. Natural light emphasised throughout, several skylights adorn a smart second storey, with copious robe storage and dressing space joining a pair of elegant ensuites in serving two considerable bedrooms.

Enhanced by built-in bookshelves and robe space, a substantial lower bedroom doubles as an ideal home office, with an open atrium garden painting a peaceful backdrop to home workdays. A stylish lower bathroom conceals a high-class Asko laundry, with a sweeping lower level reaching a stunning back section. Configured for clean lines and seamless function, a lengthy dining area adjoins an entertainer’s kitchen featuring a stainless island, upscale Gaggenau cooking appliances, integrated Miele dishwasher, and Liebherr refrigerator & freezer. Enjoying 3.2m ceilings and underfloor hydronic heating, a vast living zone with custom cabinetry affords uninterrupted room to entertain, while glass sliding doors effortlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces.

Ensuring welcomed privacy, manicured hedges line a tranquil, west-facing backyard, while further highlights include a standalone bath to master ensuite, rain showers to each bathroom, zoned ducted heating and cooling, Artemide and Davide Groppi light fittings, imported Italian tiles and Danish tapware, hidden power towers, alarm, video doorbell, NBN connectivity, and a secure garage. Moments from Como Park and Brookville Gardens, it’s surrounded by elite schools and Melbourne’s grandest estates, while mere steps from Toorak Village’s flourishing boutiques, cafés, and restaurants.
