The river, the park, and Scotch College
In the first decades of the 20th century, shortly after Scotch College moved to their at-that-time-urban-fringe locale, the only society-worthy homes in Hawthorn were those that dotted along the Yarra River.
Located in the most sought after area of Melbourne, short walk to the parkland, Yarra River, Scotch College and tram stop, and a great city view on upstairs, this Tudor revival, with Art Deco elements, architectural style house sits on a 837sqm level land with frontage appro. 18 metre and backyard facing east. It has two parts: the main house in the front connecting to a townhouse on the back for granny. There are 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and two kitchens. There are also a large sun-bright workshop and an underground cellar on the rear of the house. A large backyard, with a swimming pool, is surrounded by trees and hedges with no overlooking problem from the neighbourhood. A great home for a family who enjoy walking along the river, have children to attend Scotch College, and take tram to the city for work.
While it can be lived, the house needs to do renovation or to demolish (not heritage listed) to build a new mansion house.
