1B Torresdale Road, Toorak

Nestled between two of Melbourne’s most affluent avenues in St Georges Road and Heyington Place, this rare pairing of classic home and north-facing holding represents one of few blank-canvas opportunities remaining in its elite Yarra enclave.

Accompanied by a broad 17.6m frontage (approx.) for stirring design scope and architectural potential, the substantial lot plays host to a timeless modernist residence subscribing to the principles of the era. Modesty defines the façade and family-friendly interiors, with an adaptable floor plan wrapping around a sizeable central garden brilliant for a moment’s pause, unwinding among foliage, or entertaining friends and family. The sun casts moving light and shadow across an open sitting space, dining room, kitchen/meals area, and family domain, while a primary bathroom with a bath and separate powder room, a main-bedroom ensuite, and extensive storage accompany four generous bedrooms. Additional highlights include an oversized storeroom and laundry, hardwood floors, and a double carport, while the one-off parcel presents a landmark chance to replicate nearby successes, craft a home to rival any other, and make a mark on a pocket wrapped in prestige.

A short stroll past generational estates reveals the picturesque Yarra Trail, Heyington Station, revered St Kevin’s and St Catherine’s Colleges, and ever-fashionable Toorak Village, while within moments are esteemed Scotch College, Geelong Grammar, and Loreto Mandeville Hall, Como Park’s pristine expanses, and the Monash Freeway for easy peninsula commutes.
