The magnificent c1920’s home has had a major remodelling and structural renovation by Andrew Parr of SJB Architects to cater to unsurpassed family living and lavish entertaining.

“Aesthetically, the house was transformed from Tudor-style into Mediterranean-influenced home with stone feature walls, decorative arches and layers of French-doors,”  Andrew Parr told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The transformation was inspired by L.A. style with Mediterranean influences due to the site’s proximity to the river and elevated, steep, riverside position.”

Alterations and additions included re-distribution and relocation rooms, introduction of lifts, gymnasium and a cantilevered bronze-clad pool which overlooks the Yarra River and distant Yarra Boulevard parklands with views towards the cityscape. The addition of a garden gazebo and private boathouse completed the transformation. 

“I enjoyed introducing several French doors into the home. A series of layered doors create connection as well as a sense of unveiling of the rooms as you move through the home,” Andrew explained to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“My favourite room would be the kitchen, which features a beamed ceiling and conservatory doors. The Study underneath the swimming pool is also special, this room is finished with a polished plaster ceiling that spectacularly reflects the surrounding greenery.”

This exceptional home features breathtaking views, a heated infinity pool, boathouse, and private jetty, creating the ultimate setting for opulent family living and entertaining."

Spectacular in proportions and breathtaking in beauty, the bespoke interiors offer a palette of marble, timber, stone and aged bronze, creating a wonderful sense of understated opulence and warmth. 

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. 

The state-of-the-art kitchen is 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.
