A landmark renovation by acclaimed Melbourne architect Stephen Akehurst has reimagined this distinguished Edwardian residence, beautifully balancing its period grandeur with sophisticated, versatile family living of a remarkable scale. Set on an impressive 1,007sqm (approx.), the residence has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate the evolving needs of growing families, with spaces that connect, separate and adapt with ease. Beyond a beautifully layered garden frontage by award-winning landscape designer Carolyn Blackman, elegant period details, soaring ceilings and considered interiors establish an immediate sense of refinement, while generous living zones unfold against the tranquil backdrop of a sparkling pool.
Period elegance defines the serene formal sitting room, complemented by a fully equipped home office with extensive bespoke joinery. The expansive open-plan family living and dining domain flows seamlessly to a superb north-facing alfresco entertaining area and shaded verandah, appointed with an open fireplace and gas-plumbed barbecue, all overlooking the pool, spa and sundeck. At the heart of the home, a superb cook’s kitchen features a vast central island, generous workspace, bespoke cabinetry and premium appliances, including an AGA with six gas burners and four ovens. A well-appointed butler’s pantry adds further functionality, incorporating a second integrated Liebherr fridge and Miele steam oven.
The elegant main bedroom offers a window seat, fireplace, walk-in robe and marble-accented ensuite. Two additional bedrooms share a retreat/study area and bathroom, while the lower ground floor provides a second ensuite bedroom and a third living space, ideal as a teenager’s retreat, gym or media room. Further appointments include hydronic heating, engineered American oak floors, a security system, luxe powder room, generous storage room and a double garage via a right of way.
Positioned within the highly regarded Studley Park precinct, this exceptional family residence enjoys an enviable lifestyle within an easy stroll of Kew Junction’s celebrated shopping and dining, including Toscanos, Laurent Cafe, restaurants and transport options. The prized Yarra River parklands are close at hand, as well as the prestigious private school precinct and the Eastern Freeway provides convenient connections to the CBD, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula.
