Halliwell Property Agents proudly present "Herbiton," an exquisite circa 1885 architecturally commissioned Victorian home.
One of Latrobe's largest and finest homes, Herbiton is a private sanctuary, hidden from the public eye by beautifully manicured gardens, gracing a total of 3,325m2(approx.).
Meticulously maintained and restored to perfection this grand, elegant and breathtakingly beautiful residence has been home to only 3 families in its lifetime.
Inspection of Herbiton tells no expense was spared in the craftsmanship and materials, in its original construction, and restoration. Attention to detail adorns every inch.
Impeccably presented with quality finishes throughout, the 375m2 floor plan is framed by an expansive French tiled verandah.
