Melbourne’s inner-city suburb of Hawthorn is set to welcome a landmark development showcasing an exceptional blend of superior design and sustainability, offering buyers the only opportunity to own a brand new Hawthorn home in a peaceful residential side street.

Hawthorn House, located at 76 Wattle Road in Hawthorn, includes just nine exclusive residences - uniquely positioned to offer a boutique lifestyle of unparalleled quality and environmental consciousness.

Some of the homes within the development are designed with desirable north facing terraces, ensuring maximum direct sunlight throughout the day, with the terraces also offering ample space for plunge pools. As Hawthorn's first fully electric development, Hawthorn House aims to achieve an impressive 7.5 Star energy rating.

Designed by Ascui & Co, all 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom floor plans in Hawthorn House are customisable, making this collection of “forever homes” a most sought-after address.

"First and foremost, Hawthorn House is designed to be a ‘forever home,’” said Ascui & Co director Gonzalo Ascui.

“A forever home is a place that has got everything you could ever want, is comfortable, and allows residents to form new memories and emotional connections."

Every aspect of the development reflects a commitment to meticulous craftsmanship and environmental stewardship. Externally, the architecture honours the heritage character of the precinct, with the facade incorporating sustainable materials and rounded edges that bring a sense of grace and fluidity to the design.

The interiors of the homes are fitted with sophisticated wine fridges, Miele cooktops against a stunning marble backdrop, and European appliances. Fixtures and finishes within the homes such as timber, stone, mosaic tiles, and fluted glass provide real textural quality.

As well as being a fully electric development, all homes within Hawthorn House offer EV charging, 3kw solar panels, water conservation measures and double-glazed windows - as well as bike parking for cycling enthusiasts. They also come with the peace of mind of a 10 year building guarantee.

The development benefits from a coveted and convenient location: while positioned on a quiet side street, residents are also within walking distance of the vibrant pulse of Glenferrie Road, with restaurants and public transport on their doorstep. They can also walk to nearby schools and universities.

Featuring gardens by Jack Merlo, Gonzalo believes the development’s integration with nature is another key drawcard for purchasers.

"You can be at the top level admiring sweeping views of the treetops or down in the expansive courtyard, where there are tactile connections to vegetation,” he said. 

“This connection to the outdoors is a key feature, enriching the living experience for residents.”

With demolition underway and Virgon Constructions expected to complete the build in November 2025, Hawthorn House represents a harmonious blend of luxury, sustainability, and thoughtful design, catering to those who value a superior quality of life with a minimal environmental footprint.
