A desirable address is always in demand. This iconic c1960s home, sits at the top of an exclusive cul-de-sac, commanding views over Como Park with direct access at rear. The greenery and scenery are so enchanting, that this home has been in the same family for 60 years! At the same time, it is only moments to the city, within walking distance of Hawksburn and Toorak Village, Yarra River bike trails and the Chapel Street dining and shopping precinct. Some of Melbourne’s finest schools are only minutes away as well. Built by renowned Mid-century modern architect Arthur Plaisted, this Mad Men hideaway, sports four bedrooms and two bathrooms, generous living, dining and entertaining areas, a huge kitchen/meals zone, a separate study and a signature 60’s rumpus room. The balcony the length of the house is like a viewing platform in a nature reserve, while the garage window has one of the best views in the city! Add to that a scenic pool and patios area and you have a true ‘entertainer’s delight’. It also has one of the most beautiful well established gardens. The retro residence is set on some 628sqm that suggests scope to either renovate or redevelop (STCA). With its exceptional provenance, this home offers spectacular potential in one of the inner city’s finest positions. A permanent view is a permanent asset.
