From it’s elevated and prominent corner allotment of some considerable 1111sqm / 11,950sq ft (approximate area) you can imagine gazing out over the surrounding wheat fields from the verandahs of this Federation home around the turn of the 20th century.

Today the home retains a relaxed countrified atmosphere and appeal with all the conveniences of modern inner city living. It has been painstakingly restored and meticulously maintained by the current owners during the past 26 years, a labour of love creating a harmonious and alluring blend of timeless yesteryear charm with 21st century sophistication.

From the inviting lychgate at the garden entry, a curved pathway leads through an enchanting leafy garden, complete with a grand old oak tree, towering and majestic palms. Period features adorn this exquisite residence that oozes charm and relaxation throughout and include:

6 ornate fireplaces with 3 chimney stacks, 3 sets of French doors leading to long shady verandahs, baltic pine floors, cedar and pressed metal ceilings, extensive lead lighting and soaring high ceilings to name a few.

The owners have thought of everything and no expense has been spared including a new slate roof on the home, carport and lychgate in 1997.

A truly unique opportunity to own a slice of history, this home was built at a time when the first electric trams began running in Melbourne from St Kilda to Brighton, Carlton won the Grand Final against Fitzroy, Poseidon won the Melbourne Cup, Alfred Deakin was Prime Minister and the reigning Monarch was Edward VII.

As the owners transition to the next phase of their lives, a wonderful opportunity now exists in this highly sought after locale close to Caulfield Park and racecourse, Monash Uni (Caulfield campus), Caulfield station, the Melbourne CBD, Elwood and St Kilda beaches.
