Step back in time and secure a slice of history with this exquisite Victorian residence, circa 1886. On a private 818 m², on the corner of Wilsons Lane, this character filled home was part of the original homestead and 35-acre dairy farm owned by Joseph Wilson that offers you a split-level design, classic allure and modern comfort.

A manicured, enclosed landscaped garden, veranda and magnificent Yarra Valley views will have you at hello. Parking for your cars, van and boat is easy with an auto 4-car garage featuring twin doors, workshop, storage, high ceilings and rear through roller door. The elegant, light-filled interior impresses with green outlooks and ornate detail, including entry hallway with archways, 11-ft high ceilings, Baltic pine polished floors, ceiling rosettes and picture rails. Tasteful décor, ducted heating, 2 split systems and 2 fireplaces will keep you cosy and secure. Three double-sized bedrooms (2 with BIRs, one with feature open fireplace), a separate toilet and lovely character-style bathroom resplendent with claw foot bath are quietly zoned. Share cosy evenings beside the gorgeous feature gas fireplace in the formal lounge room. Cooking will be a pleasure in the designer-style kitchen appointed with thick Caesarstone benchtops, porcelain sink, s/s 900mm oven, s/s gas cooktop, island bar with second s/s sink, extensive storage and picture window framing garden views. Enjoy casual get-togethers in the sun-kissed family/meals room or open the double French doors to the sensational entertaining, comprising north-facing deck, extensive paving, veranda and splendid, low-maintenance landscaped gardens with deluxe powder room, lawn areas for children and pets and a multitude of newly planted Magnolia Little Gems along the fence line.

The existing permit allows for a 4-lot subdivision consisting of 2 x 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, double garage townhouses and 2 x 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, double garage townhouses all with roof top sun decks to take in the sweeping views of the Yarra Valley.
