This Toorak residence set on approx 551sqm with glorious garden and pool surrounds has been sold by Marcus Chiminello and Nicholas Brooks of Marshall White less than half way through the EOI campaign.

The gracious c1930's architecture blends with contemporary designer style, offering expansive open plan living extending out to a landscaped north-west facing private garden oasis with paved entertaining terrace and pool.

Nicholas Brooks told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND the home sold in 12 days for a price above the quoted range of $4-$4.4m. Offers were submitted by 13 parties. 

“677 Orrong was extremely popular because of the scarcity in the price bracket, with 164 groups through the opens,” Nicholas explained. 

“This is a price bracket that has been starved for options.”

Interest was from young families from South Yarra, Toorak, Armadale and Prahran. 

“This was one of the rare properties that drew higher numbers than usual from buyers from Albert Park who were seeking more space. The overall size and accommodation on offer is one of the first things that stand out,” Nicholas told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

Behind a high walled picturesque garden, the welcoming reception hall highlighted by dark timber floors and an ornate ceiling introduces an elegant sitting room with open fire, inviting home office with gas fire and a formal dining room.

Streaming with northern light, the expansive open plan living and dining room features dark timber floors, open fire place and sublime kitchen boasting marble and stainless steel benches and Miele appliances.

Black framed doors extend the living domain out to a brilliantly landscaped north-west facing private garden oasis with paved entertaining terrace and pool. 

Upstairs, the captivating main bedroom with built in robe, dressing room and lavish marble ensuite with heated floor is complemented by a second bedroom with designer ensuite and robes, two additional bedrooms and a stylish marble family bathroom.

“The current owners, who have lived at the property for almost 30 years, have designed the home to be entertaining-focused, with the open plan kitchen opening up to the swimming pool and outdoor area. A space like this is uncommon in this price point and location,” Nicholas told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Updates remain faithful to the home’s history, retaining many of the original 1930’s features including decorative ceilings, windows, cornices and architraves. This authenticity was attractive to most of the buyers, including the eventual purchasers.”
