At first glance, one might guess that this 1930s Art Deco house is in Hollywood Hills. But there’s a boatshed, waterfront and lush green landscaping. And while the residence may evoke the style and panache of Old Hollywood movie stars, you’d be in the wrong hemisphere and off by some 7,900 miles as the crow flies.
The streamlined home named Tarcoola is on a bend of the Yarra River in the Toorak suburb of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia.
It’s set on about 2,000 square meters, or roughly half an acre, on Edzell Avenue. The riverside road, a popular stretch for new builds, is coveted for the location close to Toorak’s central business district.
At street level, the home’s symmetrical façade of white brick has an understated appearance with strong horizontal lines emphasized by a low-rise roof and rounded privacy walls.
Called Tarcoola, the home sits on roughly hand an acre on Toorak’s Edzell Avenue.
