Inspect by Private Appointment. Embracing a unique position above the bend of the Yarra River, this magnificent c1920’s residence has been completely rebuilt and transformed by Andrew Parr of SJB Architects to become one of the riverfront’s most beautiful homes. Commanding uninterrupted river views from every angle, the luxurious indoor and outdoor spaces complete with an infinity pool, boathouse and private jetty cater to unsurpassed family living and entertaining on the most lavish scale. Spectacular in proportions and breathtaking in beauty, the bespoke palette of marble, timber, stone and aged bronze creates a wonderful sense of understated opulence and warmth through every dimension. The majestic reception hall, behind a high walled garden, introduces a study to one side and to the other, the palatial dining and living rooms both featuring gas log fires and enjoying sweeping views over the river, Burnley golf course and to the city skyline. A culinary tour de force, the state-of-the-art kitchen is superbly finished with Pilbara marble benches, Gaggenau appliances, integrated Sub-Zero fridge/freezer and wine fridge and a butler’s pantry. Aged bronze arched doors extend the living and entertaining options out to an expansive northwest facing stone terrace with pergola covered dining, a sensational undercover al fresco area with BBQ kitchen, heaters and open fire and a remarkable heated infinity pool and spa seemingly suspended above the Yarra. A generous media room with built in bar opens to a private landscaped garden with water feature/fire and bench seating. A graciously curved marble staircase and a lift lead up to the sumptuous accommodation zone comprising three double bedrooms with designer en suite and built in robes, linen room/nursery and the beautiful main bedroom suite encompassing a gas fire, deluxe dressing room, luxurious marble en suite and balcony offering tranquil Yarra River and golf course views. Both a lift and stairs access the lower level featuring a spacious dedicated gym, temperature-controlled wine cellar, 4-car garage, powder-room and a stunning executive office with filing room and independent street entry.Brilliantly designed, the remarkable lush and colourful gardens meander past a gazebo to a large river deck with an evocative timber lined retreat/studio with kitchenette and powder-room. It’s an unbelievably tranquil and peaceful setting so close to the CBD. Below is a boat shed with slipway and one of just a handful of privately owned jetties in Toorak.
