21-23 Wilks Avenue

Offered for the first time in 40 years, this utterly captivating solid brick residence is magnificently positioned within a spectacular Fiona Brockhoff designed north-facing garden oasis with pool and guest/summer house. An exceptionally rare offering in an exclusive Stonnington Estate address, the substantial 1,375sqm approx. (double block) allotment on 2 titles also offers exciting scope to sub divide (STCA). Serenely set behind a high wall, the home's interior dimensions were previously renovated throughout with inspired designer flair and bespoke finishes that remain completely in vogue today. The gracious sitting room with an open fire is adjacent to an equally generous library with fitted study area. On the level above accessed by stairs and a lift there is a beautiful main bedroom with designer marble ensuite, walk in robe and north-facing balcony, three additional bedrooms with robes and a stylish bathroom. Wide solid oak floors flow through an inviting formal dining room, the gourmet kitchen appointed with Gaggenau appliances, stone benches, integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer, a butler's pantry and light-filled casual dining area overlooking the garden. An expansive living room with a roaring open fire opens out to a paved BBQ terrace and the picturesque mosaic tiled pool. A sensational venue for lavish entertaining, the exceptionally spacious summerhouse with kitchenette, living room (open fire), bedroom/studio and bathroom also provides ideal guest or family accommodation. A remarkable family estate, it includes an alarm, ducted heating and cooling, powder-room, laundry, irrigation, water tanks, lift access to basement garage and secure parking for 3 additional cars. Just a short walk to Glenferrie Rd and Toorak Rd trams, Tooronga and Kooyong stations, Glenferrie Rd shops, Kooyong Village, excellent schools, Menzies Reserve, bike path and freeway access, this substantial property has no heritage overlay.
