39 Highbury Grove

Designed by renowned architects Ritz & Ghougassian, this extraordinary semi-detached Edwardian residence seamlessly blends heritage elegance with a striking contemporary addition. Unexpected yet masterfully integrated into the heritage-listed streetscape, this home is a triumph of modern design and materiality, reimagined to suit the needs of a growing family. Beyond its timeless Edwardian façade, an architectural transformation unfolds. A central courtyard garden serves as the heart of the home, elegantly dividing the master suite and ensuite while allowing natural light to filter through expansive glazing into the living and dining areas. In contrast to the intricate period detailing of the original home, the new wing is defined by exposed concrete block walls, steel lintels, and bespoke steel shelving, all working in harmony to create a bold yet sophisticated aesthetic. The material palette is meticulously curated, with native plantings and spotted gum joinery offering a tactile warmth that beautifully offsets the raw textures of concrete and steel. Thoughtfully designed for its long and narrow 300 sqm site, storage is seamlessly integrated behind banks of spotted gum, ensuring a minimalist and uncluttered living experience. Through the passage leading to the master bedroom, a sweeping wardrobe lines the walls while the master suite has direct access to a fern filled courtyard and ensuite. The refined kitchen emphasises fluidity and effortless entertaining, while a sweeping wardrobe lines the passage to the master suite, maximizing space without compromise. Positioned in one of Prahran's most coveted streets, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom architectural sanctuary is just moments from vibrant cafés, fine dining, boutique shopping, and lush parklands. A home of rare craftsmanship and enduring beauty, it offers a lifestyle of luxury, privacy, and effortless sophistication
