Unique Home on 840m2 (approx) of Land
Pholiota was the home of the famous Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney, built and designed for themselves in the early 1920s. This original 21' square building is described in detail in any manuscript devoted to the works of the couple. Pholiota is now surrounded by architectural Art Deco additions that complete this unique property set on 840m2 (approx) of land. Full of character such as decorative high ceilings, sash windows and timber beams, the home also comprises a lounge (OFP), family/dining area (being Pholiota), brick paved rumpus overlooking the in-ground pool, and the kitchen/meals area that overlooks the original sandstone sculpture from the now demolished Art Deco MLC insurance building in the CBD. Throughout the years, the residence has also become home to a fine collection of stained glass windows and doors from various places including historic churches and the ANZ 'Gothic' Bank (Collins Street, Melbourne). Located in the highly sought Walter Burley Griffin Estate, within an easy walk to the Yarra River and parklands, and close to all amenities including Austin/Mercy Hospital and private schools, this historic home is as rare as they come.
