Following a dramatic recent refurbishment, a contemporary Studley Park home known as ‘The Orb House’ has sold for an undisclosed price, attracting strong interest from several buyers.

“The strength of the sale provided further evidence of the late 2019 rebound in the prestige residential market around Boroondara,” agent Sam Wilkinson told WILLIAMS MEDIA. “Within a few weeks our office sold 3 luxury homes in Studley Park, Kew between $4.5-6.5m.” 

Approximately 90 groups inspected throughout the campaign, which was launched on November 18, with the sale concluded on 16 December. The EOI process closed on December 14 with negotiations progressing over the next couple of days.

Set on approx. 961sqm land just metres to the Yarra River, the residence is an ode to family luxury, entertainment excellence and tranquil seclusion from award-winning Bojan Simic. 

The RAIA short-listed home was recently updated to the highest standards to complement the spectacular architectural profile and features spectacular living zones and deluxe accommodation revolving around a central alfresco oasis.

“This was the fourth time that I have managed the sale of this home since its construction approximately 10 years ago. The house attracted considerably more genuine buyer interest this time than the previous 3 campaigns,” Wilkinson told WILLIAMS MEDIA.

In terms of accommodation, the house offered an excellent layout that would comfortably house a large mature family, with four first-class bedrooms all including ensuites, complemented by a versatile rumpus/music room, TV lounge and showcase cellar with Veuve Clicquot stand and capacity for 1,000+ bottles.

Soaring glazed walls, state-of-the-art features and Grigio Versilia marble accents define beautifully flowing, light and airy spaces, including a magnificent marble kitchen replete with Miele appliances and butler’s pantry with Liebherr wine fridge and additional oven.

A floating cubical wing incorporating a stunning formal area and 2nd-level office with sensational views extends to a sweeping arc of family living and dining areas punctuated by a feature gas fireplace. Electric blinds and doors reveal a sundeck-surrounded, self-cleaning swimming pool, sauna and alfresco pavilion with BBQ, Scholtes fridges and gas fireplace.
