Overview

'Cavan' c1870 rare city-edge garden sanctuary with garaging

A marvellous Melbourne landmark on the preferred high side of an overarching plane tree-lined street, 'Cavan' is an early-Victorian residence where an evocative high-wall presence reveals a deep garden sanctuary both private and peaceful that captures the imagination and abundant north light. Enviably located on the East Melbourne border, this city-edge oasis with easy rear garaging offers a country homestead feel of complete seclusion in a largely original and potential-filled setting. Beyond an historic façade and tessellated tile veranda overlooking the garden with its alfresco terrace areas, the split-level interior introduces a sense of depth and discovery as the layout unfolds from a full-width living and dining room with a sandstone fireplace and French doors, to a terracotta-tiled Ilve/ASKO kitchen incorporating an integrated fridge/freezer, Carrara marble surfaces and copious storage. Further is a functional central bathroom including a concealed laundry area. A series of quiet, garden-connected spaces extend throughout including a bright bedroom with full-height robes, a fitted desk and French doors to the rear, joined by a separate lounge or study/library also opening to the courtyard, and a large main bedroom offering a private ensuite, a walk-in robe and direct access to a tranquil rear courtyard. Additional features include ducted heating, fitted storage and remote-controlled rear parking with excellent ROW via Freeman Street. A once in a generation opportunity to shape the next outstanding chapter of a truly significant home, 'Cavan' c1870 on a 414 sqm approx. allotment offers current-day comfort in an extraordinary garden milieu just a short walk to Bridge Road cafes, the Kingston Hotel, restaurants and shopping, the Epworth Hospital precinct, trams, West Richmond train station, the MCG, Fitzroy Gardens, and a selection of easy to reach primary and private schools.
