7 Victoria Avenue, Canterbury, VIC 3126

A rare example of 1890 Victorian Italianate architecture in Canterbury’s Golden Mile district, this enchanting residence blends century-old embellishments with modern luxuries. Designed by John Beswicke, whose works include the Hawthorn Town Hall, the stately façade guides guests into another world where 12-foot (approx.) ceilings and Baltic floors wrap a display of marble cast-iron fireplaces, intricate cornices, and ornate ceiling roses.
