671 Orrong Road, Toorak VIC 3142
Underestimated generational Toorak beauty with expansive North-West land
Some families spend their whole lives trying to get into Toorak, and those that succeed in creating a home this close to the village stay, for generations. The owner of 671 Orrong Road is no exception. Her father was an expert in all things property, and he knew just how good 'a position this parcel of around 460sqm is in. It is finally time for another family to take advantage of all the benefits he saw in this property, and those his daughter has enjoyed for over half a century. Some of these benefits are easy to see, like the substantial built form of the current three-to-five-bedroom residence. Others, like the exceptional swathe of land out the back, oriented to the North and East, might only be noticed by those with a keener eye. Then there are some things that you won't find until take the time to inspect the place, like just how beautiful the dining room is, or how cosy the front sitting feels and how good the views out each window are. The project certainly isn't for the faint-hearted, but the rewards are truly limitless for those with the times, money, and the vision to create something special. There won't be just financial rewards either (also these will be substantial), there is the prospect of setting you and your family up for the brightest future possible. And for generations to come. Whether it is the elevation, the North-West aspect & leafy views, the proximity to Toorak Village or the community up and down Orrong Road, you will find more to love about 671 the more you look into it. I know all this not because the owner told me, but because Orrong Road and two period homes along this strip have shaped my life in the most meaningful way. My wife's family bought a property just up the road, and when they upgraded, they loved it so much they moved just 550m up the road (they even picked the same side of the street). They raised their two daughters here, celebrated birthdays here, hosted family Christmas countless times (and recovered afterwards here). They now have grandkids they are helping raise here, joining them on their trips to Toorak Village. My wife is the best thing that ever happened to me, and she was raised here; a product of the community you now have the opportunity to buy into (or stay within, if you, like them, are moving hyper-locally). That, in essence, is the nature of these opportunities: they are rare, exciting, & should be taken with both hands (just like my wife).
