Historical significance starts back in the early 1940′s when this currently operating gallery and residence took shape on the large block (3737m2 approx), built by HG McLean, a local builder and businessman of the area.

The grandeur of this building is thanks to soaring ceiling heights, feature bay windows, expansive living rooms, open fire places and quite possibly the journey past the artwork on display has an influence.

Two formal entrances invite your attention, with a mature garden to compliment. The question is though, what will her future entail? To continue as a proclaimed art gallery, to re-create the building as a home of style and luxury, which will more than accommodate the largest of families, or perhaps it may be utilised for professional rooms, tea rooms, a restaurant or even a reception centre. Since the opening of Eastlink, the location couldn’t be handier. Ringwood and Eastland are just down the road and access to the Freeway a stones throw.

The original building is solid brick and includes three bedrooms, a family bathroom, formal lounge and dining room, a study area, a Blackwood timber kitchen with an adjoining meals area and ducted heating.

Parquetry floors stage the 2nd formal entrance which is the beginning of the first extension, posing a large family room, a studio and gallery, a cellar, the 4th bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a divided rumpus room.

Beautiful views of the Dandenong Ranges can be admired from the first floor, which is the most recent addition to the building. The inclusion of retreat, a huge storage room, the master bedroom and a modern en suite, presents the space as a parent’s sanctuary away from the rest of the home, or perhaps the ideal guest retreat.

There is ample parking outside, paved courtyards, new side fencing, a BBQ area, storage/garden shed and a feature brick driveway.

You’ll be swept away by the history and space of this magnificent residence.
