26A Shoobra Road

Architect-designed & built to exacting standards, this striking three-storey residence delivers a sophisticated interpretation of contemporary living within a tightly held inner-urban setting. Inspired by the artistic language of Mondrian, the home's bold geometric façade is distinguished by coloured stained-glass elements that cast shifting light & colour throughout the interiors, while a refined palette of clean lines & carefully balanced proportions creates a cohesive architectural identity across all three levels. Thoughtfully designed with flexibility & effortless entertaining in mind, the split-level ground-floor layout unfolds beneath soaring ceilings & amidst expansive steel-framed glazing, drawing natural light deep into the home & seamlessly linking inside & out. At its centre, the open-plan living & dining domain revolves around a sculptural stone island kitchen, appointed with premium appliances of an induction cooktop, dishwasher, two wall ovens (one steam) & a fully-equipped butler's pantry with a built-in microwave & additional drawer dishwasher for maintaining a kosher kitchen. A sunken living zone with built-in gas fireplace delivers a warm, inviting entertaining space, while floor-to-ceiling glass sliders connect to an entertainer's alfresco with a louvre-covered dining zone that cleverly closes itself at the first drop of rain & electronic blinds to shield from warm afternoon sun. Adding a second outdoor zone, a north-facing balcony juts off the dining in the centre of the ground floor, welcoming in streams of natural light. Downstairs, two remarkably spacious bedrooms with built-in robes extend off the extra-wide passage, serviced by a family bathroom with heated towel rail & separate toilet, & enjoy a private lounge area (or fourth bedroom) for the perfect kids' retreat. A separate laundry & spacious storage room complete the below-ground level. On the top floor, a private parents' retreat spans the entire level, complete with a mezzanine living zone or secluded study, super-spacious bedroom, walk-in robe & luxe ensuite with double vanity, heated towel rail & separate toilet. Additional features include a recessed study nook, powder room, ducted heating & cooling on each level, alarm & double automatic garage with additional off-street parking. Enjoy the convenience of a highly sought-after location close to Hopetoun Gardens, Elsternwick Village, city-bound transport & excellent local schools.
