Set in the elite enclave of Toorak is this magnificent family residence.
Offering 5-bedrooms, 5-bathrooms and a 6-car garage, the home is one of a select few properties on Towers Road to boast a north-facing rear.
The elegant manse sees a heady combination of soaring ceiling heights, stone and parquetry floors (with underfloor heating) delivered with the highest levels of craftsmanship throughout.
The impressive hall leads past an opulently fitted executive study and through to the elegantly appointed formal living and dining rooms. From here, one can access the casual living area and kitchen – the latter fitted with Gaggenau, Ilve, and Miele appliances, stone benchtops and walk-in pantry – overlooking the tennis court and swimming pool.
Glass doors provide an effortless transition from living to outdoor areas – a true entertainer’s dream – with the residence enjoying low-maintenance gardens designed by Paul Bangay and access to the aforementioned resort-like facilities.
The ground floor also boasts a self-contained guest room with ensuite and private front garden entrance.
Guided by a handcrafted marble staircase, one arrives at the master bedroom with a luxuriously appointed ensuite and expansive walk-in wardrobe. Three additional bedrooms – one with ensuite, the other two sharing a bathroom – are also found here.
The semi-basement sees a full bathroom – servicing the pool, home theatre, adjoining gym, communications room and fitted cellar. Further, another kitchen and home theatre is found here alongside a capacious garage for all the essentials.
The exclusive residence is close to Toorak Village, leading schools, transport, freeway access and the Yarra River.
The listing is with Kay & Burton’s Ross Savas (+61 418 322 994) and Michael Gibson (+61 418 530 392). Price guide $22-$24 million.

Boasting 360-degree panoramic views across New York City, this new 92nd-floor penthouse is the highest residence in Brooklyn.
The full-floor apartment stands atop the new Brooklyn Tower, which encompasses 143 condos and 398 rentals in the heart of downtown Brooklyn, said Katie Sachsenmaier, senior sales director, Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group.
The condos begin on the 53rd floor, and the penthouses begin on the 88th floor. This one, Penthouse 92, is the only full-floor penthouse.
“The building is coming into its own now,” she said. “It feels very busy when you step into the lobby.”
Developed by Silverstein Properties, the building at 85 Fleet Street rises from the historic Dime Savings Bank building, according to a news release.
It was designed by SHoP Architects with interiors curated by Gachot Studios, and it is the borough’s only super tall skyscraper.
Penthouse 92 features custom interiors by Brooklyn-based Susan Clark of design firm Radnor, Sachsenmaier said. “Her selections have made it really beautiful. It feels very warm and inviting.”
Architectural details include 12-foot ceilings, European white oak floors in a custom honey stain, mahogany millwork, bronze detailing and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The eat-in kitchen features Absolute Black stone countertops, an island with seating, oil-rubbed bronze Waterworks fixtures and integrated Miele appliances, according to the listing.
The primary en suite bathroom showcases large-format Honed Breccia Capraia marble. There is also a separate laundry room as well as a wet bar and a butler’s pantry.
The views are spectacular, Sachsenmaier said. “If you’re standing in the living room, you take in the Statue of Liberty and all the way up through Midtown. On a clear day, you can see the planes take off at LaGuardia (Airport).”

Moving around the apartment, you see south over the harbor and then north and east over the whole city, she said.
From the front door, “you’re immediately greeted with the expansive living room and the view,” she said. “It’s really the first thing you see.”
The primary suite features a dressing room, multiple walk-in closets, two bathrooms (one with a cedar sauna) and southwest-facing windows, Sachsenmaier said. “You get those really beautiful harbour views.
The amenities will be ready by the end of summer, she said. A Life Time club will occupy the entire sixth and seventh floors, and an outdoor pool deck wraps around the dome of the bank building.
Stats
The 5,891-square-foot home has four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one partial bathroom.
Amenities
Residents will have access to over 100,000 square feet of exclusive indoor and outdoor leisure spaces.
Fitness company Life Time will manage an array of amenities that include a 75-foot indoor lap pool, outdoor pools, a poolside lounge and atrium, a billiards room, a library lounge, a conference room, a theatre with a wet bar, a children’s playground and playroom and limited off-site parking.
