This gracious Italianate mansion provides prestigious family accommodation of an extraordinary calibre rarely seen on the Melbourne property market. Paying respect to its heritage while balancing modern architectural elements and thoughtful design, this superb home offers luxurious family living.

Privacy abounds as you enter through ornate iron gates. The formal garden compliments the intricately detailed faade. Here, stately reception rooms combine a wide entry hall with a dining room and living room, with original decorative features taking pride of place. A modern library space with a private entrance, overlooks the sparkling pool.

The rear of the home reveals a more casual, modern living space. Double height windows frame views of the pool and garden and offer glimpses of the city skyline. The designer kitchen with its marble benchtops and Miele appliances, makes an elegant place in which to cook and entertain, and is complimented by a Butler's Pantry. A spacious living and dining zone encourages a natural togetherness and a TV snug is well positioned. Outside, a lawn is surrounded by a number of outdoor rooms suitable for relaxing or entertaining. The shady pergola offers respite from the afternoon sun, and a brick fireplace provides a warm focal point in which to gather. The pool area is well considered with an outdoor shower and powder room providing a practical wet zone. At the back of the property, a lower garden provides ample space for play.
