A fantastic opportunity exists to restore this revered Melbourne icon to its former glory. Architecturally significant and designed by renowned architect Harold Desbrowe Annear, ‘Cloyne’ built in 1926 is a Georgian Revival style mansion, resplendent with classically inspired features evoking the glamour of a bygone era. Embark on a full scale renovation that honours the original five or six bedroom floorplan, or reimagine the interiors to suit a contemporary lifestyle (STCA). Positioned on 1025sqm (approx.), the foundations for future grandeur are already in place: the remnants of a luxurious pool flanked by colonnades, a semi circular driveway and porte cochère, and a first floor ballroom accessed directly from the garden. The interior revolves around a grand spiral staircase, complemented by an elegant entrance hallway and a gallery style landing that offers a quiet retreat opening to a balcony, one of several outdoor zones. The current layout suggests five bedrooms, alongside formal living and dining rooms, a timber panelled study, and an open plan family room, as well as a sunroom, sauna, cellar and external studio with ensuite. Ideally located to enjoy an elite Toorak lifestyle, the residence is zoned for Toorak Primary, with prestigious private schools within easy reach and a choice of shopping villages nearby.
