A Grand Family Sanctuary on One of Hawksburn's Largest Corner Allotments
Originally constructed in 1970 by the late Dr. Leonard Hartman, this exquisite double-storey residence was a true labour of love — a testament to craftsmanship, family and timeless design.
Set on an expansive 492sqm (approx.) corner allotment, this home offers an internal living area of approximately 33 sq (311 sqm) and stands as a masterpiece of enduring quality. Solid double-brick construction, classic-inspired archways and thoughtful modern renovations together create a secure private fortress blending serenity, sophistication and style.
In a suburb renowned for its character, lifestyle and tightly held period homes, opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally rare. Behind its private façade lies a sanctuary where classic architecture meets contemporary luxury. Every inch has been meticulously renovated, delivering an effortless fusion of charm and modern refinement.
Sunlight cascades through five new skylights, illuminating generous open-plan living and dining areas that flow seamlessly to lush north-facing gardens and alfresco entertaining spaces — a tranquil oasis for intimate gatherings or grand celebrations.
The brand-new designer kitchen, laundry and bathrooms have been curated with uncompromising attention to detail. Premium stone finishes, heated floors, heated towel rails and luxury appliances elevate every moment of daily living.
The home features five expansive bedrooms, including two magnificent master suites (one on each level), complemented by 2.5 beautifully appointed bathrooms. Soaring three-metre-high ceilings and a handcrafted solid Australian hardwood staircase celebrate the enduring integrity of the original build.
Outside, manicured gardens embrace the home, crowned by a century-old fruit-bearing olive tree — still gifting its abundance today.
Completing the property is an insulated double garage with three-phase power, ideal for EV charging, plus a double driveway and two additional off-street spaces — a rare luxury in this location.
A private Errol Street laneway provides discreet access and a convenient shortcut to Hawksburn Village, where boutique shops, cafés and transport await.
This home is more than a residence — it’s a secure, timeless sanctuary where history, design and luxury living converge. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Prahran’s heritage crafted for modern life.
