Its position simply second-to-none with an endless array of allures just steps away, this exquisitely reimagined, c1979 abode delivers the very finest in low-maintenance luxury, all while remaining true to the class, charisma, and cleverness synonymous with late architectural icon Wayne Gillespie.

With eminent estates, lush foliage, and an absence of traffic cementing the street’s status as one of Melbourne’s most sought-after, a captivating, early-Gillespie façade sees a decades-old rose vine surround a feature box-bay window, gifting vivid floral and sunset views to divine interior’s living/dining domain. Extensive glass spans the northern, eastern, and western sides of a sublime central courtyard primed for entertaining, with ribbons of sunlight prominent across the home at all hours of the day. Equipped to please the avid home chef, a lavish kitchen centres around an exceptionally deep waterfall island with stylish pendant hanging above, accompanied by a fully integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer and Bosch dishwasher, 900mm ILVE cooker, profuse soft close cabinetry, and sleek stone worktops.

Affording the welcomed option of single-level living, a magnificent main bedroom occupies a sun-splashed rear wing all to itself, enhanced with excellent robe space, a twin-basin travertine ensuite, and private courtyard awash with morning rays. Relishing sweeping treetop outlooks, a sumptuous second storey offers three substantial bedrooms, together served by a skylit, travertine bathroom, impressive built-in robe storage, and fitted desk to a light-filled guest room.
