32 Banole Avenue, Prahran

On a quiet street celebrated for its period homes, this reimagined three bedroom Edwardian stands out with refined detail, a showpiece renovation and a sense of prestige that resonates from first glance. A picket fence and paved front courtyard introduce the home, where a skylit hallway with exquisite herringbone parquetry flooring sets the tone for the sophistication within. A front bedroom with robes and an open fireplace gazes across the street through plantation shutters, while two further bedrooms, one with robes, the other with attic storage, add versatility to the accommodation. At the heart of the home, a stunning open plan living and dining domain with a 3.2 metre ceiling is drenched in natural light from a channel of skylights overhead. Anchored by a gas fireplace elevated on a brick hearth, this expansive space flows effortlessly to a west-facing courtyard through a striking wall of steel-framed double glazed windows. Complete with inbuilt seating and roller door access to off-street parking via Pakington Street, it is a seamless extension of the interiors for everyday living and entertaining. The sublime kitchen is a masterclass in design and function, centred by a vast stone island with breakfast bar. Appointments include a 900mm oven, induction cooktop, dual sink, integrated Bosch dishwasher, walk-in pantry, abundant storage, a bar nook, and an integrated Bosch side-by-side refrigerator and freezer. Here, every detail has been crafted with precision. Luxury continues in the stone-finished bathroom, where skylight illumination highlights a wet area with a deep freestanding soaker bath and indulgent rain shower. A European laundry, dual zoned ducted heating and cooling, underfloor heating in the bathroom and timeless finishes throughout add to the home’s comfort and appeal. With no apartments in the street and a rare consistency of period residences, this is a home of substance and distinction—melding Edwardian grace with a luxurious modern vision. Its position adds further prestige, with Prahran East Village, High Street trams, Hawksburn Village, the Chapel Street precinct, Lumley Park and Victoria Gardens all close by.
