Abode

Occupying an extraordinary double allotment with frontages to both Hawksburn Road and Cromwell Road, this landmark Italianate Victorian presents one of South Yarra's most compelling opportunities. Rich in history, remarkable in scale and offered with exceptional potential, it provides the rare chance to create a truly bespoke family estate in one of Melbourne's most tightly held locations.

Behind its magnificent period faade, nestled on some 1,884 sqm (approximately) this residence retains the soaring proportions, grand rooms and architectural elegance that define the Victorian era including a Towe. Expansive formal and informal living domains, generous accommodation and beautiful original features throughout provide an exceptional foundation for a sympathetic renovation that will honour its heritage while introducing contemporary luxury.

Beyond the principal residence, the property's versatility is equally impressive. An original station cottage known as Acherton with independent frontage to Cromwell Road offers outstanding flexibility as guest accommodation, a home office, studio or multi-generational entertaining.

The grounds have been thoughtfully prepared for the future, with the swimming pool and sauna already established.

Complemented by multiple garaging, extensive parking and expansive gardens rarely found in inner Melbourne, this is a property of remarkable scale and unlimited possibilityan opportunity to restore, enhance and create a landmark family compound for generations to come.
