6 Fulham Avenue

In the prestigious Como Park precinct, this c1915 Edwardian reflects an extraordinary architectural journey. Initially transformed by John Wardle many years ago, and recently refined again, bringing classical proportion and contemporary Australian living into clear alignment - this property delivers a rare offering of scale, established gardens and a home that is turn key ready to enjoy. Lush mature gardens, a north-south pool and basement garaging create breathtaking seclusion and privacy over a generous 1073sqm approx allotment. At the same time, the design places equal emphasis on family and friends' connection, natural light and a level of luxury that reinforces its significance. European oak, Italian marble, mosaics, a wall of onyx and expansive glazing introduce a luxurious material palette, allowing each space to draw greenery and shifting light while maintaining its own identity. A mirrored entry, introduced by an automatic pivot timber door, opens to a skylit gallery beneath dramatic ceiling heights, currently arranged as a formal dining domain. The kitchen and butler's pantry sit discreetly beyond, luxuriously appointed with Miele and Smeg appliances and Breccia Capraia marble, before the home moves toward two brilliant living domains. The first more formal lounge clad in designer wallpaper, is enriched by an open fireplace, with French doors that open to the deep verandah and sun terrace overlooking the front garden. A second, more relaxed large living room extends through full-height glass and Wardle's signature timber screening to landscaped surrounds and a heated, self-cleaning pool, finished in smoky green mosaic and framed by towering hydrangeas and established planting. The principal suite continues this architectural narrative, with a glass wall opening directly to the pool and a stunning Murano glass chandelier. The generous bedroom leads into an exceptional ensuite defined by onyx detailing and richly toned stone, alongside a large walk-in robe beneath a bank of skylights, and generous study. Upstairs, three further bedrooms, two with en-suites and balcony access, surround a TV retreat with a built-in desk. Comprehensively appointed with hydronic heating, air-conditioning, double glazing, motorised blinds, underfloor bathroom heating, a large cellar, mudroom entry, four-car garage and gym, extensive storage, and advanced security complete a peerless residence. It is well positioned beside Como House and parkland, moments from Como Lane Cafe, the Yarra River, Toorak Village, the Palace Cinema and leading schools, including Melbourne High School and Melbourne Grammar.
