Overview

Timeless Family Grandeur on a Prestigious Allotment

A timeless expression of 1930s craftsmanship, this grand residence delivers a rare blend of period elegance, family flexibility and substantial garden surrounds on a magnificent 793sqm (approx.) allotment with views across the Yarra Parklands. Framed by a manicured lawn and a stately façade, its presence is both dignified and endearing, resulting in a home of enduring quality designed for generations to come. Inside, high ceilings, hardwood floors and plantation shutters introduce beautifully proportioned rooms that balance charm with modern comfort.

A second lounge provides further versatility, ideal for quiet retreat or formal entertaining. The kitchen retains its period authenticity and offers scope for a future contemporary transformation, while the adjoining meals area enjoys leafy outlooks across the vast rear garden – an extraordinary outdoor expanse where children can play freely and families can entertain on a grand scale. Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with three spacious bedrooms including an upper-level main bedroom that opens to a delightful private terrace capturing scenic treetop vistas.
