Overview

Balgay Circa 1880. A Once in a Century Proposition.

Some addresses arrive only once a generation. Balgay at 42 Seymour Road is one of them. A landmark Victorian residence commanding a magnificent, elevated allotment of some 1227m², set in the district’s finest position directly adjacent Harleston Park. This is a residence of genuine substance. Built of sturdy solid Hawthorn brick beneath a slate tiled roof, it presents seven principal rooms, each superbly proportioned and adorned with the period detail that defines the era. Magnificent decorative marble fireplaces, soaring ceilings, decorative cornices, Bay windows, and the unmistakable gravitas of a home built to last centuries. What makes this offering truly rare is not only its architecture but its position and scale. Elevated gardens and park-side allotments of this calibre simply do not present in Elsternwick — and when they do, rarer still is one paired with a residence of such integrity and a parcel of such generous proportions. The opportunity here is unlimited. Renovate the existing residence and restore it to its full period grandeur. Or redevelop the allotment (STCA) to realise its broader potential scale and elevation. Whichever path is taken, the foundation, position, land size, and northerly elevated aspect — cannot be replicated. Elsternwick’s appeal continues to strengthen, prized for its village shopping strip, leafy streets and proximity to the bay, the city and some of Melbourne’s finest schools. Few pockets within it offer the calm, established surrounds enjoyed here. Opportunities of this nature are, in the truest sense, generational. 42 Seymour Road a once in a 100-year proposition, awaits its next chapter.
