76A River Street

With the picturesque Yarra and buzz of Toorak Road at each end of its quiet street, this extraordinary abode by Jackson Clements Burrows displays sophisticated, expressive architecture to be a lifestyle sanctuary in a class of its own. Its design inspired and its execution breathtaking, a split-level layout centres around a void bridging under-heated limestone and a ceiling towering several levels above, creating scintillating scale unmatched by even the most remarkable homes. Prestige is embodied by accommodation spanning multiple floors, with three oversized bedrooms all joined by walk-in robes, sweeping outlooks, and chic, concealed ensuites. With a timber-clad entrance hall making an impression to remember, range-topping Miele appliances ensure the stonetop kitchen can cater for absolutely any gathering, while an entire wall of stacker glass sees living/dining merge with barbecue alfresco to make hospitality a breeze. Ascending to a vast main lounge, an ultra-wide staircase augments the sense of occasion so entwined in the home's allure, complementing a top-floor retreat and adjoining terrace sublime for cocktails before a night on the town. Lofted atop a rear garage, a self-contained, separately accessed studio offers heating/cooling, a tidy bathroom, kitchenette, and fourth bedroom/living area to be perfect as a visitor's base or home workspace, while a second front garage, security, ventilating louvres, electric blinds, abundant storage, a full-size laundry, extra powder room, and wine cellar take the offering to new heights. Right by trains and trams to rarely require a car, a short ride along the Yarra to reach the city's heart, and a single block removed from a Chapel Street precinct adored for its fashion, cuisine, and nightlife, it's mere moments to elite schools, Como Park, Toorak Village, Prahran Market, The Tan, and CityLink for effortless commuting.
