THE DEAL
Moonee Ponds hosts a handful of spectacular Victorian homes, all known by name. Built c. 1877, this north-facing icon predates them all. A bluestone statement of prominence and authority, reworked and revitalised to meet the needs of today.
Tuckpointing, lush gardens and a distant setback form a street stance that wastes no time making an impression. Step inside bluestone construction means solidity even double brick can't match.
Ceilings towering, proportions expansive, heritage remaining the centrepiece. An air of grandeur, backed by real history.
Master in its own domain plush carpets, dual-basin ensuite, views across the front gardens and a dual-access dressing room. Guest room downstairs, bedrooms 3 and 4 above joined by robes, a smart bathroom and stair-landing retreat/study.
Central lounge for unwinding in peace and quiet. Spaces beyond take every occasion in their stride.
All-day northern sun, ceilings continuing to soar, and the warmth of hydronic heating throughout the home, complemented by hydronic heated towel rails in the bathrooms. A gas-log fire adds another layer of winter comfort. Stone-top kitchen with a butler's pantry and Bosch appliances, bi-fold doors revealing a gas-plumbed alfresco deck, open-air dining space and solar-heated pool.
Drinks on warm nights, barbecues under blue skies, kids making a splash come summertime all in total privacy.
Double garage makes the most of a back laneway, with more bi-fold doors to merge with the backyard. Lofted above an oversized studio or office, accessed via the laneway and given provisions to be a future guesthouse (STCA).
Split-system heating/cooling, camera/alarm security, oak floorboards, plantation shutters, oversized laundry, solar energy and three additional car spaces behind the electric front gate. Queens Park, the racecourse, creek trail, 59 Tram and Puckle Street within steps. CityLink and elite schools moments away.
SEALS THE DEAL
A preserved Moonee Ponds landmark, a piece of Melbourne history. Heritage nearing 150 years-strong primed for 150 more.
