Once-in-a-lifetime Renovation Opportunity

Built in 1891 for esteemed Box Hill resident William Thodey, this unique heritage-listed villa features a distinctive French Second Empire design from notable Melbourne architect Arthur E. Clarke, revealing fascinating preserved features both inside and out.
Nestled on a 1799m2 block, the property has been called 'home' by a short list of distinguished families over the course of 123-years history, but it's now in need of a sympathetic renovation to restore its original splendour.
Potential to be one of the most magnificent homes, the property referred to as the 'McCook House' in honour of its beloved former residents - is the only known example of domestic French Second Empire architecture in Whitehorse, making it a one-of-a-kind opportunity.
Outside, the mansion's classic red-brick façade is enhanced by a sweeping verandah, an intricate leadlight front door, ornate brackets and a cast-iron crested turret that gazes out to the sprawling grounds.
Meanwhile, the untouched interiors features high ceilings, grand carved archways and moldings, original hardwood flooring and a decorative fireplace.
There's also an intriguing and elaborate mural in one of the rooms, which is believed to be where the former resident, Winifred McCook, stored valuable artefacts and items from her many expeditions to the NT, WA and Papua New Guinea, in a bid to preserve records of native culture.
The home's versatile layout encompasses formal living and dining rooms, kitchen and a laundry/mudroom, plus 5 large bedrooms, a study/dressing room and bathroom.
Convenient to an array of desirable amenities, such as Kerrimuir Primary School, Our Lady of Sion College and Box Hill Gardens. Just moments from Box Hill High School, Box Hill Central, the hospital and Eastern Freeway.
