This is an immaculate property to look at and to be at.

It unfurls over some 1400sqm of superbly curated grounds in leafy environs of Toorak’s prestigious Linlithgow Road. Encompassing a north-south tennis court, picturesque pool, and elegant gardens by Paul Bangay, who has partnered here with the equally revered Nicholas Day and Stuart Rattle to deliver a very cultured and complete family compound.

The six-bedroom home is quite beautiful – the quintessential modern classic with superbly proportioned rooms that have struck just the right balance of refined and relaxed.

There is a lovely connection with the outdoors right throughout, with superbly crafted windows and doors that can be thrown open in an instant and fill the home with soft light and gentle breeze.

All six bedrooms are light, bright, and spacious – the principal suite equipped to a standard usually associated with a world class hotel, a quite magnificent space in which to begin and end any day.

The formal rooms, while richly elegant, are still deeply warm and inviting - with a dining room ready to host the most impressive of gatherings.

The casual living zone is light and sleek with an exceptionally appointed contemporary kitchen that, like everywhere in this house, meets all the requirements of modern life with aplomb.

The kind of place that can wrap itself around its people one moment and throw itself open to their friends the next.

Exactly what a fine family home should be.
