Inside $18m Toorak mansion with infinity pool, wine cellar, rooftop kitchen and bar
Melbourne's newest luxury home has landed in Toorak with an eye-watering price guide, a rooftop bar with city views, and space for a serious car collection.
The newly completed home at 12 Yarradale Rd is in one of the well-heeled suburb's most exclusive cul-de-sacs, and comes with a price guide of $17.5m-$18.5m to match its location.
A sculptural spiral staircase, rooftop entertaining terrace with panoramic views, and a glass-walled seven-car garage form just part of the offering.
Residents can also enjoy a cinema, cocktail bar, wine cellar and gym with steam room.
Kay & Burton's Darren Lewenberg said Point Property Group and Mazzei Luxury Home Builders were behind the incredible, custom-designed address.
'We've had more than 100 groups through already,' Mr Lewenberg said.
'At this end of the market, that kind of volume tells you something; buyers are looking for the complete package, and this one delivers.'
Inside, the main living and dining area is served by a showpiece kitchen featuring a stone island bench, Gaggenau appliances, and a full butler's pantry complete with dual VZug ovens and instant boiling or chilled water tap.
The entertainment space flows to an outdoor terrace with built-in kitchen and an infinity-edge pool.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is framed by a designer dressing room and marble ensuite with a freestanding bath.
Three further bedrooms each have their own ensuites, built-in desks and wardrobes, and access to a central retreat, while a fifth bedroom on the ground floor includes its own private courtyard, ideal for guests and extended family.
Downstairs, a subterranean cinema with a velvet sunken lounge sits beside a moody marble wine bar and cellar, while the seven-car garage is set up to feel more like a private showroom, visible from the adjoining gym and wellness space.
But it's the rooftop level that has caught the most attention from buyers, complete with its own full kitchen, marble bar and barbecue, and sweeping Melbourne CBD views.
'It's very rare to see rooftop entertaining executed at this level, particularly in Toorak,' Mr Lewenberg said.
'There's proper integration between indoor and outdoor zones, and you've got full lift access, so it's functional for everyone.'
Mr Lewenberg added that the floorplan had struck a chord with buyers seeking luxury without compromising on liveability.
'It's not just a showpiece,' he said.
'The home's been designed for real families — with zoning, light, storage and scale in all the right places.
'It works just as well for entertaining as it does for day-to-day living.'
Additional features include smart-home automation, in-slab hydronic heating, CCTV security, and sheer curtains throughout, with lighting and high-end furnishings also available by separate negotiation.

Nude model's money woes exposed
Given the couple's propensity for their Instagrammable lives to be also regularly snapped by the paparazzi, the recent on-again/off-again listing of the Darling Point apartment co-owned by nude artist Dina Broadhurst and her ex-partner, builder Max Shepherd, kept gossip column readers riveted for months until its recent sale. The price guidance for the Etham Ave garden apartment sat at $11.5m for its abandoned December auction, and by the time of its rescheduled June auction, had dropped to $8.4m. It apparently fetched $8m in its undisclosed pre-auction negotiations this month. MORE: Aus pub's $500m collapse, staff owed $7m There has been a continuing backdrop of intricate financing of their renovation project after kicking off with a standard NAB mortgage. The duplex apartment, with 280sq m of indoor-outdoor living space, had cost $5.2m unrenovated in 2022, which was followed by a 'Cinderella transformation' by emerging interior designer, Josh Knight from Glebe. 'No expense was spared to deliver a home of high-end luxury showcasing bespoke design by Studiojos,' its marketing advised. Though the couple had split by mid-2023 after 4½ years together, NSW Land Registry documents indicate that about April 2024, the duo secured second mortgage funding from Greg Reed's Benchmark Property Finance.

By last September, it sat at $1.16m with the funding agreement specifying the apartment needed to be listed for sale within five months with a 'reputable agent'. By February this year, the loan expiry date had been extended to August. It has also emerged that veteran Sydney businessman Basil Sellers had separately lent Shepherd $260,000 in 2022, with the amount owing at $358,000 last month. Shepherd moved on and stepped out with his Vanderpump Rules star girlfriend Vail Bloom, while Broadhurst remains devoted to her 365,000-strong Instagram following and her risqué self-portraits. One of her artworks has just been installed in the conference room of Ray White Touma Taylor in Redfern. MORE: Wild reason Aussie has 300 homes

‘Messed up': Sydney restaurant sparks fury over ‘live' dish
A Sydney restaurant has sparked outrage after serving a seemingly live lobster to customers. Korean seafood restaurant, Getbawi, opened its doors in late 2024 and has quickly garnered a following as one of the few Sydney restaurants specialising in hoe, or authentic raw seafood. But footage of what appears to be a live lobster being eaten by customers has now sparked controversy online and thrown concerns for animal welfare into the spotlight. In a clip posted to TikTok, a customer can be seen recording two other diners eating a lobster as it twitches and moves its legs. 'Wow, live lobster eating,' the cameraman says before asking if it's good. 'It's good, it's actually good,' replies one of the diners. Commenters were quick to express their shock over the clip with some branding it as 'straight up cruel.' 'How do you enjoy a meal while watching the poor thing suffer?,' questioned one viewer. 'This is so wrong,' wrote another. 'So cruel,' agreed a third. A spokesperson from Getbawi told that in order to ensure the freshest seafood they 'take the lobster from the aquarium when the customer orders and kill it straight away.' When asked how they respond to claims of animal cruelty a staff member replied, 'I can see how some people might think about it like that.' He added: 'It's for the freshness, we do it for the fish too. We have live fish for our sashimi.' The lobster is priced off market price but could set you back over $180 per kg. The Getbawi spokesperson did not agree with claims that its lobster is served alive. Lobsters sometimes exhibit movement after death due to residual nerve and muscle activity. When a crustacean is killed, its nervous system doesn't always shut down instantly and its muscles may continue to contract, resulting in twitching and movements. In Australia, the protection of shellfish under animal welfare laws is minimal. Most states and territories exclude crustaceans from their definitions of 'animals' under animal welfare legislation. In NSW the Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 protects crustaceans, but only when they are being prepared for sale or offered for consumption in places like restaurants or wet markets. In South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia, crustaceans are not included within the definition of animal and therefore have no protection under animal cruelty laws. A spokesperson for PETA told 'Prosecutors must throw the book at this restaurant for its disgusting and egregious breach of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, which clearly prohibits 'producing food for human consumption, in a manner that inflicted unnecessary pain upon the animal'.' The PETA spokesperson continued: 'The pain this lobster must've endured when his body was ripped apart and his delicate flesh sucked out is unimaginable. Research shows that lobsters have sophisticated nervous systems made up of ganglia throughout their bodies – this makes them extra-sensitive, meaning that they can feel every moment of their prolonged deaths when they're immersed in boiling water or eaten alive. 'This restaurant must immediately lose its licence, and people upset by this can do their part to help lobsters and other sea animals by leaving them off their plates.'

‘No place I'd rather be': Bec Judd's stunning WA holiday
Two decades after she stole the show in that red dress, the queen of the red carpet was back at the AFL's night of nights. Aussie WAG and influencer Bec Judd has shared photographs of her family's glamorous winter getaway in Broome. The Perth-born model posted a carousel of photographs of her children and husband — former West Coast Eagles legend Chris Judd — to her Instagram writing, 'There's no place in Australia I'd rather be in winter than Broome, WA.' The family soaked up the Kimberley sunshine at Cable Beach Club Resort, with the socialite sharing pictures of her and her family drinking slushies, reading, swimming and sunbathing by the luxury resort's pool.

In a stunning sunset photograph, Judd was captured donning a white mini dress from Australian fashion label Aje, pairing it with a Louis Vuitton handbag and Celine sunglasses. The 42-year-old mother also posted a bikini selfie to her Instagram story, saying that the Cable Beach Club Resort was her 'spiritual home'. The former Perth model is a frequent holiday visitor back home to WA. Credit: Instagram Judd is the co-founder of Aussie active-wear label, Jaggad. Her husband Chris captained the Eagles to an AFL Premiership in 2006 before being traded to Carlton Football Club ahead of the 2008 season. The couple have four children: Oscar, Billie and twin boys Tom and Darcy. Judd also shared a snap from the plane. Credit: Instagram In March, they listed their stunning Arthurs Seat property on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula for a whopping $3 million. The couple purchased the 1970s brick home in 2016 for $1,212,500. The recently renovated home had been the latest project of Judd, an experienced renovator and self-taught interior designer. In 2024, the influencer visited Rottnest Island during another family visit over the April school holidays. She posted a cute selfie of herself and Chris on the Rottnest ferry, captioning it 'My love.' In July, she travelled to Broome for another family holiday.
