Newtown, VIC 3220

A distinguished presence in Newtown’s prestigious heart since 1912, this grand Edwardian residence is set on a magnificent 1800sqm (approx.) landholding. It fully embodies the grace and grandeur of its era while offering the finest contemporary comforts and quality in every considered detail.

The elegant architecture has been masterfully preserved and sympathetically enhanced through a careful 10-year renovation. The home’s park-like gardens and handsome archway entrance create a striking first impression, complemented by a blue-chip address.

Inside, a charming vestibule introduces the substantial interiors, which include multiple living areas, a formal dining room, and four well-sized bedrooms. The semi self-contained former servant quarters from the 1910s have been thoughtfully integrated, providing versatile accommodation options.

Luxury decorative ceilings, pine flooring, exquisite leadlight, and bay windows add character and warmth throughout the home. A servant switchboard pays homage to the historic charm, while contemporary updates ensure present-day comfort.

The home features three sympathetically renovated bathrooms, a practical mudroom, hydronic heating, a gas log fire, reverse cycle air-conditioning, and decorative lighting. Beyond the main residence, the property offers a superbly appointed stone kitchen equipped with premium appliances, including a 900mm Smeg freestanding oven and a Westinghouse dishwasher.

Beyond its stately interior, the property boasts a north-facing garden expanse with a swimming pool, a basement level with a pressed metal ceiling, a fireplace, and arched windows that offer scope for further updates or the creation of a teen hideaway or speakeasy-inspired wine cellar.

Benefitting from dual street frontages with secure parking for three vehicles, this distinguished residence also offers first-class proximity to a choice of leading schools, numerous recreational facilities, and the shopping and dining precincts of cosmopolitan Shannon Avenue and Pakington Street. Access to the CBD and Ring Road further enhances the appeal of this distinguished lifestyle offering.
