12 Sargood Street, Toorak.

Evoking the timeless beauty of a Florentine escape, this Tuscan-inspired residence by renowned interior designer Margie Bromilow delivers a rare fusion of European artistry and Toorak prestige. Perfectly positioned within walking distance of Toorak and Hawksburn Villages and cleverly designed to optimise space and natural light, the stylish two storey, three bedroom, 2.5 bathroom plus study townhouse unites authentic craftsmanship with contemporary refinement in one of Melbourne's most distinguished addresses. Upon entry, a mirrored wall in the sitting room or study reflects a trompe-l'œil artwork that echoes the home's floors, shuttered windows and courtyard retreats, instantly transporting you to the Tuscan countryside. Framing superb views across the serene courtyard, the split-level open plan living and dining domain with gas log fireplace and integrated joinery unfolds with effortless sophistication to an exquisite Italianate-inspired outdoor sanctuary cocooned in greenery, paving and a tranquil water feature. The skylit kitchen, finished in stone and stainless steel and appointed with Smeg and Fisher & Paykel appliances and a meals area, balances practicality with poise. The main bedroom is beautifully proportioned, featuring extensive robes and a sublime marble ensuite where a delicate frieze frames the deep bath. A second double bedroom with built-in robes opens through French doors to a Juliet balcony looking down over the verdant courtyard, while a third bedroom and skylit bathroom with separate toilet complete the upper level. A pink powder room on the lower floor adds a whimsical flourish to the home's refined composition. Modern comfort has been meticulously considered, including ducted and split-system heating and cooling, underfloor heating on the lower level, alarm, sprinkler system, and a secure 1.5-car garage with storage accessed via a private rear lane. Situated within Toorak's premier school precinct, moments from Mandeville, Lauriston, St Catherine's, GGS Junior School, Brookfield and Toorak Primary Schools, and with transport at the doorstep via the 605 bus, Toorak Station and trams along Toorak and Malvern Roads, this exquisite residence captures the essence of European grace within Melbourne's most exclusive enclave.
