A grand family estate commanding pride of place in the elite upper echelon of prestigious Eaglemont property, 'Innisfail' c1928 is a magnificent double-storey, 14-room residence scenically elevated on an expansive 2202m2 allotment (approx) backing directly onto exclusive Outlook Park.
A rare jewel in legendary architect Walter Burley Griffin's blue-ribbon Mount Eagle Estate, this illustrious American-inspired domain's unrivalled double-block setting amid flourishing botanical grounds is a breathtaking sight to behold.
The grandeur begins with a classically patterned terrazzo verandah introducing a stately timber-paneled reception hall that leads to adjoining formal sitting and dining rooms (ornate fireplace and heater) framed by the timeless elegance of a glorious past and opening to a full-width, eastside covered terrace.
The ground-floor layout extends to a huge main bedroom, with city views and an ensuite, before a family living room opening to a conservatory-style sunroom, a study, a powder room and a large laundry, along with a well-appointed kitchen and meals area.
Complemented by a versatile games room or extra bedroom while flanked by an additional sunroom with spectacular city views and two separate studies plus a family bathroom, first-floor accommodation is superbly spaced for peaceful privacy and comprises three king-sized bedrooms (built-in robes) including one with its own ensuite.
Other attributes of this character-filled home include solar electricity, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, copious attic storage, a BBQ area, storerooms, return driveway entry and remote-control garaging for four cars and a further two off-street car spaces.
An unrivalled opening in a supreme position that's exceedingly comfortable with stunning potential to luxuriously restore its celebrated glory, 'Innisfail' stands as a testament to time-honoured architecture and is a once in a lifetime opportunity close to river parkland and the Main Yarra Trail, East Ivanhoe Village cafes, Ivanhoe and Burgundy Street and shopping precincts, train station, leading schools, freeway and the Austin and Mercy Hospitals.
Take in the sensational city views from the terrace, soak up the splendour of an enduring era and make a first-class future together with one of Eaglemont's most treasured properties.
