3 Russell Street, Toorak, Vic 3142

Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Rob Mills, this palatial European-style home set on a substantial 1,046sqm (approx.) block combines relaxing family living with sumptuous entertaining spaces, all set in a coveted Toorak location close to elite schooling.

Stepping into the home from the private, landscaped front garden, a breathtaking formal living and dining hall offers a hint to the luxuriously appointed home that lies beyond. Flooded with northern light and benefitting from triple-aspect decorative windows, this generously proportioned space also features a majestic stone fireplace and exquisite parquetry flooring.
To the rear of the ground floor is a similarly expansive, informal living and dining area with classic French doors opening to the pool and verdant rear garden which provides a tranquil space to sit or entertain.

The well-appointed kitchen pairs an oversized marble island bench and benchtops with Miele appliances, a Viking Professional freestanding range, Vintec wine fridge and a walk-in pantry. At the centre of the ground floor is a spectacular, curved stone staircase which is almost a work of art in itself. It sits adjacent to a handsome wooden-panelled office and library with a floor-to-ceiling bay window offering views to a lush side courtyard.

Upstairs, the palatial master bedroom occupies the front of the house and pairs his and hers walk-in dressing rooms with an oversized ensuite complete with freestanding bath and walk-in double shower. Three further bedrooms – all with Juliet balconies and leafy views over the pool – include one with an ensuite and walk-in robe.

Other features of this magnificently designed home include a basement with parking for four cars, a home theatre, gym, wine cellar and extensive storage.
Further appointments include a lift to all three floors, two powder rooms, central laundry, reverse cycle heating and cooling, extensive bespoke cabinetry and statement chandeliers.

Situated in a coveted position close to High Street and Glenferrie Road's retail and hospitality precincts, this sublime family home is further enhanced by easy access to leading schools including Lauriston Girls' School, St Catherine's School, Scotch College, St Kevin's College and Melbourne Grammar School.
