Constructed in 1934 for decorated local resident William Howard St Clair, Woodford is a remarkably preserved example of inter-war period architecture, positioned on an elevated allotment of approximately 1,532 square metres in Hawthorn's esteemed Scotch Hill precinct. Distinguished by its architectural integrity and grand proportions, the residence presents a rare opportunity to secure a significant family estate with both historical and aesthetic importance.
Occupying a commanding position, the home enjoys sweeping, elevated views across its expansive grounds towards the Melbourne city skyline. The landscaped gardens, framed by mature oak trees, enhance the estate's sense of privacy and prestige, while the substantial landholding offers an enviable combination of seclusion and outlook.
Behind its striking tapestry brick façade, the interior unfolds with an impressive level of period craftsmanship, including ornate ceilings, timber detailing, and original steel-framed windows. The residence comprises five generously proportioned bedrooms, complemented by a study rich in character. The elegant formal living and dining rooms overlook a stone-paved terrace, seamlessly connecting the home to the surrounding garden. A sunroom, bright kitchen and breakfast room offer further flexibility, providing comfortable everyday spaces alongside refined entertaining zones.
With two driveways and a flexible floorplan, Woodford retains its strong architectural presence while offering exceptional scope for sympathetic renovation or extension, thoughtfully balancing heritage character with contemporary family living and modern aspirations.
Superbly located within close proximity to Melbourne's leading schools, Yarra River parklands, transport links and the retail and dining precincts of Glenferrie Road and Camberwell Junction, this exceptional residence offers an increasingly rare chance to acquire a landmark home in one of the city's most tightly held and prestigious locales.
