Make history with the landmark position and benchmark potential of this highpoint panorama-view home. One of the earliest landholding properties of the Ormond Hill precinct, this opportunity to capture elevation, orientation and location, on a substantial 586sqm (approx.) and a timeless Edwardian-era home provides unparalleled potential to craft one of the McKinnon College Zone’s finest period residences. One of Melbourne's earliest poured concrete constructions, this beautifully proportioned four, and up to five bedroom plus home-office, three bathroom-area home is a unique owner-built home of its time...with the structure and substance to see through many more lifetimes.
Extended beyond original grand formal lounge and dining rooms with a sun-bathed north-facing family-room, the home’s existing floorplan provides a superbly solid base for future reimagination. Stepping up to bay and city view master-level, the first-floor immensely flexible space across a vast balconied master-suite with dressing-room and retreat, and a wide-windowed home-office with its own panoramic perspective.
Graced with spectacular period detail including lavishly leadlit bay-windows, lofty decorative ceilings and eye-catching internal fretwork, this exceptional Edwardian offers contemporary comfort in a modern kitchen with walk-in pantry and meals, and a quality dual-vanity bathroom and ensuite plus flexible additional facilities. Appointed with gas-heating and reverse-cycle air-conditioning, and powered by a 5kW solar system this superbly solid home has an abundance of storage options, including a large powered rear shed and even provides a 2-car carport.
Add some paint, polish and style savvy, give all the kids a bedroom and room to move, then take your time to settle in at this lifetime location. Or follow through with a once-in-a-lifetime reimagination and create one of the Zone’s most spectacular period homes. However you see the future for this uniquely inspiring home, this blue-chip panorama-view address is ready to reward with McKinnon College’s educational opportunity, Ormond Primary and Centre Rd’s retail and rail amenity, and close proximity to Brighton’s private schools, café society and beaches direct down North Road.
