A captivating fusion of Victorian grandeur and contemporary refinement, this landmark residence showcases an inspired renovation and extension that honours its heritage while delivering exceptional modern luxury. Awarded Bayside’s Best Heritage Renovation 2016, the home is a masterclass in craftsmanship, architectural integrity and family-focused design.
Behind the classical façade, a traditional entry reveals soaring ceilings, ornate detailing and beautifully preserved period features that immediately evoke a sense of timeless elegance. These gracious proportions transition seamlessly into expansive contemporary living spaces designed for effortless indoor–outdoor connection.
The privately positioned master suite is a true sanctuary, overlooking a tranquil courtyard and complemented by a light-filled ensuite with dual shower and generous vanity. A remarkable church window created by celebrated Australian artist and former owner David Boyd forms a stunning focal point, adding artistic significance and historical depth.
Four additional bedrooms provide outstanding accommodation, each finished with polished timber floors and plantation shutters. Two retain original fireplaces, while one features a charming mezzanine retreat. A stylish, fully tiled central bathroom services the family wing, and a substantial study offers flexibility as a fifth bedroom if required.
Elegant formal living and dining rooms are enriched by north-facing period windows, an open fireplace and statement chandelier, with French doors opening to the outdoor entertaining zone — perfect for hosting on any scale.
A separate entrance introduces relaxed Hampton’s-inspired interiors within the contemporary extension. The designer kitchen impresses with Blackbutt and walnut joinery, stainless-steel benchtops and splashbacks, three ovens and extensive storage. A fully appointed butler’s pantry supports seamless entertaining, while the breakfast bar connects to an expansive open-plan living and dining domain, accompanied by a generous, discreet home office.
North-facing bi-fold doors draw in abundant natural light and open to a superb alfresco setting complete with a decked entertaining area, integrated barbecue, dining space and a gated solar-heated pool with amenities — a private retreat designed for year-round enjoyment.
The oversized laundry combines practicality and style, enhanced by subway tiles, warm timber panelling and abundant cabinetry. Landscaped gardens maximise the prized northern aspect, blending structured elegance with lush greenery, mature trees and tranquil water features to create a serene oasis.
Additional features include reverse-cycle air conditioning, alarm security, auto-gated entry, circular driveway and double garage.
Positioned for an enviable bayside lifestyle, the home is moments from Black Rock Village and Sandringham Village, quality schooling including Firbank Grammar School (Sandringham House), Sandringham East Primary School and Sacred Heart Parish School, along with the sparkling shoreline of Port Phillip Bay and the parklands and tennis facilities of Royal Avenue Park.
A rare and distinguished offering where heritage beauty and contemporary excellence unite — delivering an exceptional family lifestyle in one of Black Rock’s most coveted pockets.
