Toorak Country Manor Renovation

Set along one of Toorak’s most prestigious streets, this classic English countryside manor has been meticulously renovated and reimagined to blend timeless architectural character with contemporary sophistication. The result is a home that feels both stately and serene – honouring its heritage while delivering the comfort and functionality of modern living.

A Refined Balance of Old and New

Every element of the home has been renewed with precision. Light-filled living and dining spaces showcase fully functioning fireplaces, bespoke lighting, and refined material selections that elevate the home’s original charm.

A gourmet kitchen forms the heart of the residence, fitted with premium European appliances and custom-designed cabinetry to enhance organisation and everyday usability. Heritage cues remain, but the functionality has been thoughtfully updated for a contemporary lifestyle.

Architectural Detail That Defines the Home

Intrim mouldings play a central role in reinforcing the home’s architectural scale and elegance. Intrim’s SK371 skirting in a 285mm height complements the soaring ceilings, delivering strong proportions and a sense of grounded luxury. Paired with SK392 architraves (90mm), the profiles establish a cohesive design language throughout.

In the sunroom, Intrim LB100 lining boards add a contemporary element, while the staircase features modern board-and-batten wainscoting crafted using the same lining boards for seamless continuity.

Across the living and dining rooms, full-height wainscoting detailed with Intrim IN09 inlay moulds adds depth and dimension, creating a sophisticated backdrop for both formal and relaxed entertaining.

A Home Connected to Nature

Beyond the interiors, the gardens — designed by acclaimed landscape architect Jack Merlo — offer a tranquil retreat. Thoughtfully manicured front and rear outdoor spaces include a private courtyard and BBQ area that extend the home’s entertaining zones and enhance the indoor–outdoor flow.

Craftsmanship in Every Detail

Every room speaks to a high level of craftsmanship, from the refined textures and premium finishes to the seamless integration of heritage and contemporary design. This Toorak manor feels grand yet graceful — a home with a classic soul and a modern way of living.
