Set in a prestigious and tranquil leafy Toorak street, the entrance to this amazing home is both intriguing and inviting. Behind the anodized aluminium light-reflecting front fence is a large mound of green asparagus fern which adds privacy and provides contrast to the bold ultra-modern façade and sweeping semicircular driveway. The timeless bronze cladding at ground level serves as a background to the cantilevered upper level which forms a ceiling for the generous 2 car front porte cochère. The spacious 3 car garage is accessed from the side driveway.
Constructed of solid concrete, the home is fully air-conditioned and also has under-floor and discrete hydronic heating and central vacuuming system.
The warm light filled and expansive ground level living space is divided by a glass atrium and a pair of retractable partition walls that delineate formal and informal living areas. The elegant formal dining and living spaces overlook an elevated north facing outdoor terrace that seamlessly connects the indoor and outdoor spaces via floor to ceiling triple layer glass doors and windows. Honed and sub-floor heated Australian Bluestone walkways contrast with American Oak floors and a solid blade weight bearing wall finished in hand polished solid plaster provides a wonderful backdrop for a dramatic art collection.

The kitchen is complemented by a large pantry as well as a separate scullery and incorporates an extensive collection of Miele appliances. The family room area includes a surround-sound home theatre.
