35 Washington Street, Toorak VIC 3142

Architect-designed family compound | Toorak prestige strip | 5-bedroom dual-wing layout | North-facing city outlook The property’s key competitive advantage lies in its Hans Barwaldski-designed dual-wing configuration, which effectively separates a main bedroom retreat from a children’s wing and a ground-floor guest suite — a rare functional layout for multigenerational families or households requiring distinct privacy zones. The 10.8kW solar system and zoned climate control reduce ongoing holding costs, while the 69% site coverage on a 502m² lot signals efficient use of land without sacrificing outdoor amenity. This house best suits buyers seeking a turnkey contemporary home in Toorak’s core, where comparably configured new builds are scarce. The primary risk is the 69% site coverage, which limits future ground-floor extensions or pool installation without a planning permit variation, potentially capping long-term redevelopment upside. The current price guide implies a ~20% premium over the 2017 sale, which is defensible given Toorak’s sustained demand for architect-designed family homes, but the buyer should verify whether the existing layout’s fixed walls allow easy reconfiguration if needs change. Hold for at least 7-10 years to amortise the premium; the dual-wing design retains strong resale appeal for family buyers.
