1/24 Hill Street
Designed in 1953 by renowned Australian architect Sir Roy Grounds, this Toorak residence is a rare and enduring example of mid-century modernism. Recently restored with a deep respect for its architectural heritage, the home reveals a quiet elegance grounded in clarity of form and material restraint. Anchored by a central circular courtyard, the layout unfolds with a considered simplicity, blurring the boundaries between inside and out, and allowing natural light to animate the interiors throughout the day.
Pared-back detailing, original brickwork and floor-to-ceiling glazing reflect Grounds’ commitment to honest materials and timeless design principles. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been subtly reimagined to suit contemporary living, with carefully integrated updates that honour its modernist DNA. Each space feels deliberate and refined, with a calm spatial rhythm that enhances the home’s liveability without distracting from its architectural significance.
Situated in a quiet, leafy enclave of Toorak, the property offers a rare opportunity to live within an iconic piece of Australian design history. More than just a home, it is a sculptural expression of a pivotal era in architecture, redefined for a new chapter, yet unmistakably grounded in its original vision.
