Instantly identifiable due to its period integrity, OSBORNE HOUSE is further distinguished by its allotment – undoubtedly one of Abbotsford’s largest and most alluring. Of equal, or even greater, significance is the lifestyle afforded by this exceptional setting. Birdsong, leafiness, Yarra Bend Park and Abbotsford Convent and Collingwood’s Children’s Farm create a serene, seductive contrast to its ultimate inner city convenience. Framed by a front garden of botanic beauty and a north westerly backdrop of outstanding size, this classical example of Colonial architecture conveys a warmly welcoming character throughout light filled living/dining areas, a separate kitchen and a sunny TV room accompanied by three bedrooms and two bathrooms including an upstairs main bedroom with ensuite and superb sites of the sky and a clever view of the convent. Hydronic heating, double garage accessed via Valiant Street, three open fireplaces with two featuring original slate mantels. One of Melbourne’s treasures – offered for the first time in some 25 years. Land size 714sqm approximately.
