23 Hemingway Ave, Templestowe is a 5 bedroom, 1 bathroom House and was built in 1875. The property has a land size of 1565m2 and floor size of 343m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in September 2013.
Originally built for pioneer orchardist, Richard Serpell, in 1875 as a 4 roomed, double-fronted Italianate villa with bricks hand-made and fired on site and set amid 82 acres with a long driveway leading to Serpells Road, this historically-significant residence was deliberately sited to capture views of the Dandenongs from the front east-facing rooms.
In 1883 the property was sold to another pioneering orchardist family, the Jenkins, who added iron lace to the verandah and later sympathetically extended the floorplan at the rear in the 1920's.
The land was subdivided in the 1970's when it was decided to retain a significant parcel of land around the original homestead in recognition of its prominent role in the area's history.
Today the home remains in the Jenkins family and is in original, if faded condition and in need of complete renovation and restoration. However, it's inspiring setting, very generous, level allotment and stunning potential to be transformed into one of the area's most palatial and significant period properties lend it unparalleled appeal.
In a quiet street surrounded by a choice of parkland, buses and schools, this home is moments from The Pines, Westfield Doncaster, Ruffey Lake Park and an array of cycling and walking tracks.
