THE DEAL
There are homes in Guildford that carry history and then there is Coralynn. An iconic Queen Victorian residence named after a 14th-century French red rose, resting proudly in a private cul-de-sac on 1,609sqm beside the Helena River Reserve.
Distinguished, cherished, and gracefully evolved, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom homestead is one of the suburb’s most significant period properties.
From the moment you arrive, her character is unmistakable. Wide cedar floorboards flow through the original footprint, leading you past high ceilings, sash windows and fireplaces that still burn bright — three in total — each a reminder of the home’s enduring warmth.
The rear extension steps into a more contemporary rhythm with spotted gum flooring, generous glazing, and a seamless north-facing aspect that pours natural light across everyday living.
The kitchen marries heritage with function: ceramic farmhouse sinks, a Falcon oven at its heart, and cabinetry that respects the era while elevating the experience. Two reverse-cycle air conditioners, ceiling fans to all bedrooms and the lounge, and thoughtful modern updates ensure comfort remains as timeless as the home’s charm.
Outdoors, the space is extraordinary. A fully reticulated garden celebrates Guildford’s fertile history with mulberry, lemon, lime, grapefruit, plums, passionfruit and olive trees surrounding the grounds.
The 65,000-litre saltwater pool is self-chlorinating and privately positioned for long summer days, while the Nectre wood-fired pizza oven brings the family together as the sun settles behind the reserve. A lockable shed adds practicality, solar panels add efficiency, and the whisper of the river nearby anchors the home in its natural surrounds.
Coralynn is not just a residence. It’s a landmark. A story of past and present written across wide floorboards, deep verandahs and a rare expanse of land that feels both secluded and deeply connected to Guildford’s heritage village.
And if you’ve ever wanted a home with soul, history and scale — one that holds its place quietly yet confidently — then this is the one.
SEALS THE DEAL
A rare offering. A landmark home. And a new chapter waiting to be written.
