16 Hill Street

Privately set within established landscaped gardens and elevated to capture sweeping city views, this architecturally revived 1930s residence by Stephen Akehurst Architects delivers a substantial, resort-style family setting on 814 sqm (approx.). Situated within a prestigious Toorak locale, its desirable position drives the layout, with multiple living areas oriented to the outlook, supported by a restrained material palette and expansive glazing that extends the connection to the outdoors. A formal sitting room with an open fireplace and a fully fitted, backlit library establishes a quieter front zone, before the home opens toward the rear for large-scale living and entertaining. Family living and meals centre around a gas log fireplace and built-in storage, flowing directly into a kitchen defined by marble benchtops, a contrasting island and a Lacanche triple oven, with a butler's pantry set behind, incorporating Sub-Zero refrigeration and integrated laundry. A broad terrace continues through seamless glass bi-folds, featuring an in-built barbecue and overhead heating, and is positioned to overlook the pool, landscaped gardens, and the glistening skyline beyond. Four bedrooms are arranged across the upper level, with three bathrooms finished in marble and equipped with underfloor heating. The indulgent main suite fronts uninterrupted city views, opening to a broad, undercover terrace, and is appointed with a fitted dressing room, a drop-down ceiling TV lift, and a lavish ensuite. A self-contained lower level adds flexibility, with an ensuite studio, infrared sauna and direct access to the striking garden and bespoke heated pool and spa, allowing the space to operate independently for guests, wellness or summer use. Hydronic heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, motorised al-fresco blinds, a display wine cellar, various under-house storage rooms, double glazing, integrated sound, security systems, and a double garage complement the move-in-ready luxury, close to Toorak Village, leading schools, transport, and the CBD.
