History of the house:

Steeped in the grandeur of Eltham's illustrious past, this residence traces its origins to the halcyon days of the early 1970s. Renowned architect Brian O'Connor, hailing from the esteemed precincts of Toorak, ventured into uncharted territory to bestow his genius upon this edifice nestled on the fringes of Eltham.
