Northcote VIC 3070

Possessing stunning late 19th century period appeal, and with a wonderful elevated position allowing for stunning views of the Dandenong Ranges, this 6 bedroom historic sensation is a rarely offered treasure on approximately 910sqm. This Italianate mansion was built in 1881 and went by the name of 'Yarrock', where two years later in 1883 it was auctioned and became the home of retired graziers Patrick and Hugh McGuinness. It went through many hands over the next few decades, and was last known as the Colchester Guest House in the 1950s. This charmed and character-filled residence enjoys heartwarming classic touches throughout including gorgeous high ceilings, leadlight windows, and timber floors, while major living highlights include formal lounge with open fireplace, serene formal dining with bay windows, timber kitchen with updated s/steel appliances and generous casual meals, grand master bedroom with balcony, 5 other sizeable bedrooms, private study, upstairs and downstairs bathrooms, relaxed upstairs sitting room, alfresco meals, courtyard gardens, pool, large cellar, and car parking for 5. In a fantastic position just moments to Northcote Primary School, Santa Maria College, Ivanhoe Grammar, Northcote Plaza, All Nations Park, High Street trams, and Northcote Station.
