Among the most historically significant homes within the Stonnington Estate, and offered for the first time in almost 40 years, this remarkable 1933 residence by celebrated architect Harold Desbrowe-Annear holds a level of architectural importance rarely presented to the market. Encompassing approximately 1,400sqm, with gardens originally conceived by Desbrowe-Annear and later refined by Paul Bangay, a sweeping cobblestone drive and porte cochere establish a sense of arrival, directing focus to the landmark façade, defined by arched windows, circular oeil-de-boeuf openings, and intricately modelled stucco garlands that form a signature of the home’s design.

A central foyer and theatrical staircase introduce a series of beautifully resolved rooms, including a formal sitting room with an open fireplace extending to a north-facing terrace and rose garden, and a separate dining room overlooking the front garden. Parquet floors continue through a well-appointed kitchen with black granite surfaces, Gaggenau appliances and integrated refrigeration, before moving to more relaxed living and dining zones with a gas fireplace and French doors opening to the sunlit rear garden and al-fresco terrace. A fully equipped gym with marble bathroom, or potential fifth bedroom, follows through the sun-drenched gallery hall, with an executive office/bedroom, and an additional ground-floor ensuite bedroom, strengthening the home’s versatility.

Additional accommodation includes two robed bedrooms and a central marble bathroom upstairs, alongside a substantial main suite with panoramic city views, a dressing room, a marble-lined ensuite, and a private balcony. Complete with a four-car garage, a dedicated workshop, wine cellar and sunlit attic storage, and appointed with integrated security, irrigation and ducted heating and cooling, it delivers an enviable lifestyle proposition, moments from Glenferrie, Malvern and Toorak Road shopping precincts, leading schools, CityLink access and public transport.
