65 Fairbairn Road

Tucked behind a private street-front facade on one of Toorak's quietest residential lanes, this beautifully updated Victorian residence reveals an unexpectedly spacious and stylish interior that feels a world away from the bustle, yet moments from everything. The home opens to soaring ceilings and warm timber floors that flow to an elegant front bedroom with split-system climate control and built-in robes. A striking dual-access ensuite is defined by a glazed lightwell, a beautiful and unexpected architectural detail that elevates the everyday. A second bedroom features a curved wall detail and sculptural bulkhead with a cathedral ceiling, offering flexibility as a bedroom or ground-floor study. From here, the home steps down to the rear living and dining domain, a captivating space wrapped in full-height, multi-aspect windows drawing northern light into the interior. A dramatic pitched ceiling amplifies the sense of volume, creating a living area that feels both intimate and expansive. The kitchen is well appointed with a wraparound island bench and breakfast bar, premium Smeg and Bosch appliances, generous storage and a double sink. Beyond, a completely private courtyard terrace offers an alfresco setting for casual entertaining and relaxation under the open sky. Upstairs, a beautifully proportioned third bedroom with a lofty pitched ceiling and walk-in robe provides an ideal retreat for teens, a dedicated home office or a private studio, quietly zoned from the living spaces below. A separate laundry and WC with external access, plantation shutters throughout and solid brick construction underscore the enduring quality of this home. Perfectly positioned on a tranquil street within a short walk of Hawksburn Village and Toorak Village, with Bistro Thierry, Peter Bouchier and Toscano's among the neighbourhood's finest dining and providore offerings. Toorak Station, Orrong Romanis Reserve and a selection of Melbourne's leading schools are all close at hand. A rare and remarkable find: a home of genuine character, absolute privacy and effortless connection in one of Melbourne's most coveted enclaves.
