8A Dunraven Avenue, Toorak, Vic 3142

Crafted to the specifications of leading architect Christopher Doyle, this multi-level lifestyle haven delivers effortless function and flexibility with a standard of specification befitting its placement in Melbourne's most revered setting.

Set beyond a grand-yet-graceful façade, an exceptional interior spans four superb storeys, effortlessly merged by a private elevator. Chevron-patterned parquetry graces a sun-splashed entry foyer, introducing a tranquil, elevated lounge en route to a brilliant focal section at plan's rear. With gas fireplaces enlivening winter evenings, a substantial living/dining space neighbours an exquisite, Calcutta marble kitchen, with abundant soft-close cabinetry accompanied by a suite of upscale Miele appliances and broad, waterfall island with breakfast-bar seating for several. Manicured, thriving flora paints a peaceful backdrop to a sublime outdoor setting, with a low-maintenance, open-air dining area placed by a centrepiece pool.

Wrapping around a broad entry void to gift a sense of space and distinction, an elaborate staircase precedes a pair of sumptuous upper storeys, with a first-floor office and top-floor retreat highlighting a concerted pursuit of modern-day practicality. Enjoying ample accommodation for large families, a luxurious main bedroom is complemented by three generous guests, collectively serviced by walk-in and built-in robes, a trio of magnificent ensuites, central bathroom to upper level, and elevated vistas of Toorak's leafy surrounds.

With extensive storage across its elegant expanse, a brilliant basement level offers a large laundry, wine cellar, storeroom, and secure parking for three, while other features to the home include American oak floors, Carrara marble to bathrooms, CCTV, an alarm, ground-floor powder room, and heat pump to pool. Endlessly convenient while placed in the most serene and exclusive of Toorak enclaves, it's a short, leafy stroll to the vibrant bars, boutiques, cafés, and restaurants of Toorak Village, Hawksburn Village, and Beatty Avenue, with High and Chapel Street fashion, esteemed private schools, trains and trams, CityLink, and the meandering Yarra nearby.
