Designed by two of Australia’s most influential modernist architects, this South Yarra home sits among private gardens close to the Botanic Gardens, Yarra River bike and walking trails. For sale by Nick Gatacre and Melinda Bradley of Hocking Stuart South Yarra.
Boldly modernist in style, this iconic family home in South Yarra boasts dual frontage from both the quiet cul-de-sac of Gordon Grove and Caroline Street.
The home was designed in the 1960s by two of Australia’s most influential modernist architects, Roy Grounds and Robin Boyd. In recent years, it has been sympathetically restored by Studio 35 Architecture, offering contemporary finesse and light-infused living.
"Oozing sophistication and style, the moment you walk inside you feel like a movie star living the life of the rich and famous!" Melinda Bradley told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
Taking full advantage of its north/east position with suburban views, the interior is adorned with detailing such as limed timber ceiling and walls, marbled concrete floors and extensive built-in cabinetry.
The floorplan is spread across three levels, showcasing five bedrooms (BIRs) including an upstairs master retreat with original brass fireplace, living zone with balcony access, and a luxe ensuite featuring twin basins and a double shower.
A vast home office, lower level games/rumpus room, expansive living room with feature fireplace, marble kitchen, dining zone, a further living room with elevated views, family bathroom with separate bath, powder room and a fully appointed laundry complete the home.
Outdoors, private gardens lead to an elevated north facing alfresco entertaining terrace with a curving pathway and bluestone paving leading to the salt-water plunge pool. Pedestrian access and car parking extend from both ends of the home.
The property is conveniently located within walking distance of prestigious private schools, Botanic Gardens, Yarra River bike and walking trails, Toorak Road shops and Melbourne’s sports and entertainment precinct.
Nick Gatacre told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “Personally, I really love the two street frontages as it gives you choice, something that the architect has really taken into consideration with their whole design. Every room has an aspect or a special part to it, I think that is the theme of the whole place.”
