'Eothen' is a landmark Federation estate of rare scale and beauty, situated on an elevated approximately 2,355 square meter botanical garden setting that enhances the grandeur and grace of this magnificent residence. Offered for the first time in 47 years, this circa 1901 home reflects the confidence and prosperity of a significant period in Australia's history.

The property features light-filled proportions, soaring ceilings, refined craftsmanship, and sweeping vistas, creating a family home of enduring presence, richly detailed comfort, and a remarkable connection to its surrounding landscape. Arrival is through leafy established gardens to a grand tuckpointed brick façade, where a security porch opens to an elegant reception hallway.

The ground floor reveals a glorious bay-window dining room with a marble open fireplace and a sunlit sitting room with a wood heater and dual French doors leading to a terrace. The layout includes three sizable bedrooms: one with a fitted desk and shelving, a substantial second with a gas fireplace and built-in book storage, and a third or study with built-in robes opening directly to the rear garden.

A family bathroom showcases marble finishes, a frameless oversized shower, and a twin vanity. This precedes a bright family living room with an open fireplace that extends to a broad covered veranda, ideal for relaxing amongst tranquil, east-facing garden greenery.

On the first floor, there are two additional bedrooms with walk-in and built-in robes and bay window seats, along with a sky-lit second bathroom. These are complemented by a large, light, and versatile lounge/library featuring a wet bar with sink and fridge, extensive book shelving, three large bay windows (two with seats and storage), and panoramic views to the ranges.

The spacious kitchen and meals area is lined with marble benchtops and appointed with quality appliances including a Neff oven, dual-fuel cooktop, and an ASKO dishwasher. Just outside, an undercover alfresco terrace provides an ideal space for easy entertaining, bathing in sunshine.

The expansive rear garden is defined by pockets of serenity amid mature plantings, including a BBQ area, enclosed vegetable garden, fruit trees, and a series of outbuildings such as sheds, a workshop, and an external toilet. There is also rear sealed-lane right-of-way access to a remote-control double garage and a gated parking space.

Additional features include a laundry, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, polished Baltic pine floorboards, antique light fittings, a sub-floor wine cellar, rainwater tanks, and garden irrigation.

This distinguished and cherished family home in a vast garden setting presents a once-in-a-generation landmark opportunity at the upper echelon of exclusive blue-ribbon Eaglemont. It is enviably located for a convenient lifestyle close to primary and grammar schools, Eaglemont Village cafes and train station, boutique Ivanhoe shopping, the Burgundy Street precinct, Austin Hospital, and Albert Jones Reserve.
