Overview

Landmark Summerhill Estate opportunity

Occupying a jaw-dropping 1378sqm (approx.) on the prestigious Summerhill Estate's signature boulevard, this grand Spanish Mission residence presents a remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a family sanctuary of unique character and sublime function in one of Melbourne's most prestigious settings. Selected by one of the Estate's original builders, GH Dore, as the prime site for his own family home and office, the c.1928 residence retains its original features and character. Its perfect preservation and synchronous updates are a testament to its construction and the care with which it has been progressively updated, lovingly maintained and treasured by four generations of the same family. An elegant loggia façade, richly detailed timber paneling, soaring decorative ceilings, ornate leadlight detailing, arched feature windows, distinguished open fireplaces, traditional Marseilles tiled roofs and walls and two glorious portico entries - all remain in a floorplan effectively designed to showcase both the owner's craftsmanship and forward thinking family practicality. Reached by a deep driveway beyond a sweeping 30.4m frontage of blossoming gardens, the grace and grandeur of the home is revealed in two formal reception rooms with handsome open fireplaces. Traditional features continue in a charming trophy room with extensive display storage designed to showcase the athletic success of Dore's daughter. A large main bedroom featuring elegant arched feature windows, three additional bedrooms with robes and Dore's study, an enchanting room with open fireplace, detailed hardwood floor and custom original storage, are served by two bathrooms, one the original family bathroom with its early character impeccably updated for modern function. An extended family room, functional kitchen and laundry have added further modern comfort, while outside, a traditional walled garden with decorative iron gates hosts paved alfresco entertaining areas and a mature landscaped garden with studio/storage. Further highlights include a large separate games room/ storage with original open fireplace, ducted heating, split cooling, hardwood floors, original workshop with storage, tandem garage, oversized double garage and multiple driveway parking. Available for the first time since its construction almost a century ago, this is a rare and remarkable opportunity to pair a pristine piece of the area's history with a state-of-the-art renovation (STCA) that creates a new and enduring family legacy for generations to come. Set in mature landscaped gardens, this much-admired landmark home is just a short walk from the area's renowned Ferndale parkland and walking trails, trams and trains to the CBD and leading private schools, local cafes and Leo's Fine Foods. Enjoy easy access to Camberwell Junction, highly regarded Hartwell Primary, sports clubs and playing fields, major arterial links and the Monash Freeway.
