Overview

York House c1878 - A Prestigious Victorian Landmark

Commanding an extraordinary 10m* frontage to both Canterbury Road and Young Street, York House is a freestanding Victorian landmark of unmistakable presence, held by the same family since 1941. Set opposite the green expanse of Albert Park Lake and within steps of the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, its iconic Hawthorn brick façade, magnificent proportions and dual street access are complemented by secure garaging for two and a position among the suburb's most prestigious addresses. Tessellated tiles extend from the iron-lace entry into a grand entrance foyer, where a sweeping arch emphasises the scale of the ceilings. The gracious lounge and elegant formal dining rooms both feature marble fireplaces, showcasing the grandeur of the era, and continue through to a sunlit farmhouse kitchen that connects to relaxed living and dining zones, enriched by pressed-tin detailing and broad west-facing windows that draw in afternoon light and garden outlooks. Two separate upper-level wings house four bedrooms and flexible additional spaces, including a home office, offering the potential to adapt as your needs grow. The enormous main bedroom, complete with an open fireplace, extends to a park-facing balcony and is complemented by a full wall of built-in robes, whilst below it all, a unique bluestone-clad basement guest bedroom with natural light and an adjoining storeroom adds further flexibility for accommodation, working from home, or future adaptation. The rear gardens are exceptional in history and scope, with the verandah connecting to a red brick terrace framed by mature trees and wide side access, supported by multiple outbuildings, studio options, and two lock-up single garages accessible via Young Street. Complete with ducted heating and split system air conditioning, and granting clear scope for a considered contemporary transformation, York House presents a peerless generational opportunity, all within a short stroll of the village, the bay, light rail, MSAC and leading schools, including Albert Park College.
