AN EXTREMELY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO RE-INVIGORATE THE GRANDEUR WITH THIS MAGNIFICENT UPPER CLASS ESTATE
***Expressions of Interest Close 26/11/2012 @ 2pm***
Situated on approximately 2100 square metres of superbly established grounds is a renovation opportunity that is indeed rare.
Built circa 1902 of solid sandstone blocks with a bluestone footing, this truly baronesque, heritage-listed residence radiates Victoriana with its grand proportions and has been privy to international opera stars, lavish garden parties and a very genteel history - including being used as a respite home for returned soldiers.
Set to the rear of the land, with a circular driveway, the home appears imposing with a villa style gable, wide, tessellated tiled verandah (with turned woodwork) and a circular turret of uniquely large size.
Inside, a grand entrance hallway leads to the main bedroom with open fireplace (probably originally the formal dining hall) to the left and a huge formal lounge to the right, with soaring ceilings over 12' in height and a Scottish-made Esse cast iron combustion heater. This leads through to the turret room that features a domed, pressed-tin ceiling that has all the intricacies detailed with gilt paint. This area would be a perfect artist
