26 Barkly St, Glenlyon is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1890. The property has a land size of 3320m2 and floor size of 193m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last transferred in September 2022.
Shaded by the canopy of Glenlyons Avenue of Honour is Trevelyn: a late Victorian villa originally constructed in 1888 as the towns police station and residence, and now an enriched and exciting family home.
Poised on a coveted double block of 3,220 sqm approx. with a second frontage to Morton Street, there is a delightful narrative about the home: the 3 king-size bedrooms each have built in robe storage, exquisite original fire places and enviably 12 foot ceilings. The central living room features French doors to the north facing patio and the kitchen/ dining area is flawlessly country style, complete with an original IXL wood stove for auxiliary heating and cooking.
But the homes inherent appeal is as much about the outside as inside:
Capitalizing on the northern orientation, the planned symmetry of the raised parterre kitchen garden designed by Tim Pilgrim (as featured in the latest Country Style magazine) is framed by espaliered fruit trees and a stunning perennial border, and finished with a stone pizza oven to ensure fresh produce from the garden can easily be enjoyed. Adjacent is a stunning walled secret garden with a walkway of linden trees and an alfresco dining area shaded by a grove of silver birch trees both are a joy to behold. The block is fully irrigated by a bore, making the prospect of a self-sustaining lifestyle possible.
A secondary forest-style garden fronting Morton Street includes an abundance of mature pencil pines, fruit, olive, poplar, and fir trees. This lot has the potential for subdivision or a dual occupancy (STCA).

Generous double block with a 40 metre street frontage
