Rumoured to be Glen Iris' first residence, 'Cherry Farm' c1860 showcases an incredible combination of rare Gothic Revival Victorian architecture and remarkable contemporary luxury on approximately 1,273sqm of manicured garden and poolside grounds. An exquisite state-of-the-art renovation in 2015 has sensitively restored the home's origins, elevating sophistication, and designer indulgence throughout multiple living zones, highlighting exceptional city views, northern light, and absolute privacy for peerless family indulgence. Beyond the revitalised facade draped in gothic gargoyles and Scottish slate tiles, a spectacular interior showcases the home's grandeur, with 3.8m high hardwood ceilings and stained glass detail surrounded by sprawling living, entertaining and catering zones. Breathtaking meals and family rooms sit beneath a towering 6m-high void, spilling out to the travertine terrace for unforgettable alfresco dining overlooking the in-ground fully tiled pool. The culinary country-style kitchen and butler's pantry complement the entertainer's spirit, fully equipped with premium appliances, including a 1,405mm Lacanche Range Cooker, integrated dishwashers, and an integrated fridge/freezer. The glory of the bygone era is revealed through impeccable stained glass, ornamental fireplaces, and incredible Blackwood ceilings in the main suite and lower-floor library, connected via a central timber staircase that ascends to a sprawling upper-level accommodation zone. Here, the striking main suite with a private ensuite and city views headlines four additional robed bedrooms, separated by a mezzanine walkway and served by a sumptuous family bathroom. On the lower floor, an original wine cave with a traditional Roman Arch sits neatly beside a self-contained entertainer's domain with a dumbwaiter - great for visiting guests or poolside entertaining. Appointed with hydronic heating, alarm/security system, refrigerated air conditioning, a powder room, laundry with drying cupboard and utility yard, automatic irrigation and a cobblestone driveway leading to three secure garages.
