Built in 1938 to a design by early modernist architect Marcus Martin, this bespoke residence in in Toorak’s Golden Mile has been transformed into an innovative, luxurious, and functional home by designers Hecker Guthrie.

The home’s interiors balance formal, casual and entertainment areas across two levels featuring a series of beautifully proportioned main rooms.

On the lower level, the well-appointed, epicurean kitchen boasts Italian marble surfaces and island, and a butler’s pantry with oven, wine fridge and second dishwasher. A second kitchen sits outside on the Portuguese limestone terrace with a BBQ and wine fridge overlooking the private floodlit garden and pool.

Interiors feature a combination of warm timbers, natural stone and luxurious brass details, with light fittings created by premium New York lighting designer, Apparatus, providing a focal point of the room.

The first floor hosts four exceptional bedrooms, including the luxurious north-facing main bedroom suite that relishes his and her dressing rooms, one with a balcony with handmade terrazzo Italian tiles, Superyacht carpet and an exquisite ensuite with a solid marble freestanding bath. A study on this level is perfect for the kids, another study features on the ground floor.

Occupying a prized corner setting with a second frontage to Kooyong Road, the property’s desirable north and west aspect maximises the full use of the low-maintenance entertainer’s garden with a gas heated magnesium swimming pool.
