Built circa 1930 when swing jazz, butterfly sleeves and Shirley Temple were in vogue, you'll take a delightful stroll down memory lane with this grand Tudor inspired "big house on the corner" formally known as "Alta Dena". Introduced by an elegant vestibule where your arrival would be "announced" back in the day, this manor-like residence features interiors that evoke a sense of enduring quality and elegance including original fireplaces, maid bells, dado panelling, sweeping timber staircase, soaring ceilings with ornate cornices, exposed Canadian Oregon beams, Tasmanian Blackwood lining and diamond leadlight windows. If the walls could talk, they would be nostalgic with happy memories of yesteryear apparent by the welcoming ambience that flows throughout. This slice of Montrose history is defined by a main house with ample living and entertaining spaces, the original stables (now a multiple car garage and workshop with home office loft complete with kitchenette) and the charming original Governess' cottage which is now a self-contained unit with a reliable long-term tenant in place.
History buffs will be intrigued to know that Katherine Elizabeth Bertha Barber (ask to see the original title) bought the land in Montrose in 1929.
