65 Castle Street

Eaglemont VIC 3084

A landmark property at one of Eaglemont's highest points, 'Egatton' c1895 is an elevated hilltop residence on an expansive 1611m2 allotment (approx) capturing panoramic views sweeping across the ranges. Set amidst established undulating grounds with paved side ROW, this largely-original family home is comfortably presented with a flexible four or five bedroom layout, timeless period detail and exceptionally rare potential. Options abound to restore the glory of this widely-admired, double-storey home and introduce a luxurious new level of family excellence or consider the possibilities of building a substantial new domain or a high-end multi-residential redevelopment (STCA). A current planning permit for the construction of four dwellings on the site has been issued by Banyule City Council. The impressive solid brick facade of 'Egatton' reveals an extensive interior with a towering mansard ceiling hallway void leading to a series of elegant family-focused spaces. Upstairs are three air-conditioned bedrooms with robes, a bathroom and balcony boasting amazing views, while at ground-level with polished floorboards and ducted heating there's a bedroom (WIR, two-way ensuite/bathroom) and a large study (or fifth bedroom) with both opening to a secluded rear courtyard. Further are spacious formal living and dining rooms (marble open fireplaces) that adjoin garden-set patios, a large granite-topped kitchen (Falcon ranger cooker, ASKO dishwasher), family meals area and a laundry. Outside is a pool-side deck and studio with a bathroom plus a cubby house and a double carport. An unsurpassed opening atop of Mount Eagle, the massive setting of 'Egatton' is perfectly positioned near Eaglemont Village, Burgundy Street's retail-medical precinct, excellent schools, Albert Jones Reserve and Heidelberg train station.
