A century-held classic ( C.1920 )

In prestigious Toorak Gardens, few homes carry the quiet authority of a property held by one family for a full century. First time offered to the market in 100 years, this iconic and much-admired residence is a classically styled executive family home set on a large allotment of 1,686 square metres—an address and landholding that together speak to the suburb’s enduring stature.

A generous setback from the road establishes a sense of arrival, with expansive landscaped gardens unfolding across the front approach. Mature trees and established plantings frame the home and give the grounds a settled, private feel, reinforcing the scale and significance of the site. A wide tessellated tile veranda is the perfect place to admire the grounds, the scene of many elegant gardens parties over the years.

Inside, the architecture retains the character details that define homes of this calibre and era. Tall ceilings and decorative cornices bring proportion and formality, while open fireplaces create natural focal points through the principal rooms. Leadlight adds a crafted note to the home’s outlook, and expanses of Baltic pine floorboards run through the interiors, grounding the spaces in warmth and authenticity.

The floorplan is designed for traditional entertaining as well as contemporary family life. Elegant formal lounge and formal dining rooms provide beautifully defined spaces for gatherings and celebrations, with the home’s original detailing lending each room its own presence.

For day-to-day living, the well-equipped gourmet kitchen looks over a spectacular family meals room designed by Pauline Hurren—an important point of distinction that connects culinary function with considered design. Multiple French doors impart a feeling of light and warmth in all seasons, drawing in soothing views of the elegant and private rear yard.

Accommodation is generous, with up to five large bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering flexibility for families seeking space to grow, host, and work from home as needed.

Adding to the home’s sense of tradition is a dry wine cellar—just perfect for a wine buff’s prized collection.
