Designed by prominent Melbourne architects Ussher & Kemp on the illustrious Gascoigne Estate’s most prized boulevard this grand Queen Anne Federation residence c.1899 exquisitely encapsulates the bygone era beauty and classical refinement that have made the precinct one of Melbourne’s most prestigious period settings. Positioned on an impressive 1338 sqm behind a broad 27.5m frontage, the home is one of six large neighbouring properties, including the much admired “The Gables” also built in Ussher & Kemp’s signature “Queen Anne Federation” style; a uniquely “Australian” style that was embraced and then replicated, not just in the Gascoigne, but in Melbourne’s most prestigious suburbs.

Beautifully presented throughout, the home’s substantial six-bedroom three-bathroom proportions retain their classical grace and imposing grandeur in a layout that provides luxurious modern accommodation just a short walk from glorious Central Park, bustling village cafes and restaurants, leading private schools, Monash University Caulfield, and transport. Beyond its stately façade, soaring rosette and coffered ceilings, exquisite open fireplaces, ornate leadlight windows, and rich timber floors adorn its breathtaking original dimensions, beyond which the quality of the previous renovation is evident in large open plan living areas with equally high ceilings and open fireplace, a stone finished kitchen featuring ILVE upright cooker and French doors that unfold to multiple areas for private family entertaining. Highlights include original formal sitting and dining rooms with open fireplaces, four ground floor bedrooms including the palatial main with walk in robe and ensuite, two upstairs bedrooms including one of enormous dimensions with extensive built in robes/storage, upstairs retreat, two family bathrooms, powder room and family laundry. Features hydronic heating, split cooling, extensive built in robes and storage throughout, subfloor cellar, shed/workshop and multi secure off street parking.

Walk to Korowa, Sacre Coeur, Caulfield Grammar Junior, and Malvern Primary, both Wattletree and Waverley Road trams, trains, and Caulfield Racecourse with minutes to Malvern Central, Glenferrie shopping and dining, High Street Armadale, and Chadstone S.C.
