A landmark estate of enduring significance, this distinguished c.1906 residence occupies an extraordinary 1,640sqm across four lots in a coveted Ascot enclave. Designed by a prominent architect of the era and held by the same family since 1968, the property presents a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of this piece of local history, where a level, symmetrical parcel, elevated north-facing orientation, and refreshing bay breezes provide an exceptional foundation for generations to come.
Rich in heritage appeal yet equally compelling for its future possibilities, this is a home to preserve, evolve and make your own. The substantial footprint offers scope to extend upward, downward or outward (STCA). Avenues for expansion have already been thoughtfully explored with an Architectural Masterplan by acclaimed architect Stuart Vokes of Vokes & Peters prepared and available to the purchaser.
Inside, more than a century of craftsmanship remains beautifully expressed. The glow of original stained glass is joined by chandeliers, brass fittings, sash windows, breezeways and original balustrades. Polished floorboards extend beneath exquisitely restored pressedmetal ceilings rising to 4 metres, creating interiors of remarkable volume and grace.
Original fireplaces bring warmth and atmosphere to the formal lounge, living and dining rooms, while sunlight filters through the wraparound enclosed verandah, where a bar provides an inviting setting for drinks and conversation. A rear sitting room forms a quieter retreat opening to the balcony, and entertaining continues outdoors across lower patios to the expansive lawns and swimming pool.
A refrigerated cellar complements the kitchen, while a private office and family study provide excellent flexibility for working from home. Five bedrooms accommodate the household, while downstairs, multiple multipurpose rooms create an adaptable ground floor with exceptional scope for recreation, hobbies, storage or future reconfiguration.
Cherished by one family for almost six decades, this remarkable property now awaits a new generation to write its next chapter. Steps from Oriel Park, transport and childcare, and prestigiously positioned moments from the Racecourse Road precinct, Ascot State School, premier private colleges and the CBD, this is a lifestyle opportunity without equal.
