“Marcus Martin was the ‘It’ architect in Toorak in the 1930s and this – for me – is one of his absolute best,” Justin Long told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“A touch of Hollywood in its original style has been augmented in its most recent revision around 12 years ago in the hands of the now-previous owner at the direction of renowned interior designer, David Hicks.”

“In today’s world of escalating building costs, homes that require little or no work are prized for the convenience and assurance they offer, and 2 Glenbervie leads the way in this regard.”

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, designer David Hicks said the home was remodelled and reinvigorated for modern day living, whilst paying respect to period detailing and the elegance of the existing architecture.

“Streamlined planning and a careful selection of high quality materials were combined to create a timeless, classic design for this magnificent home,” David explained.

“Thoughtful preservation and enhancement of an architectural original has ensured the legacy of this stately home will continue well into the future.”
