THE DEAL
Melbourne’s oldest private residence, Wentworth House (1841-1842) is weight, heritage and majesty. Meticulously updated - it’s now a haven for the next generation. True legacy, pure luxury. Iconic in every sense.
Gardens wrap around three street frontages. Land measuring 3144m2 (approx.). Two towering peppercorn trees frame the stance. A horseshoe driveway conveys authority. Elevation is commanding, scenery unforgettable, masonry exquisite - all the hallmarks of a landmark estate.
Leathered marble and granite headline the palette. Sun and soaring ceilings bring ambiance. Venetian plaster adds flair. Exposed brick and bluestone harness history. Timber floors anchor prestige. Everything bespoke. The highest quality. Shaped around a vision.
Three expansive bedrooms all with extensive storage. Elegant ensuites in main and guest rooms. Luxe third bathroom with a bathtub. Statement powder room. Bay-window billiards room doubling as a fourth bedroom – accommodation that’s unmistakably first-class.
Living/dining, back rumpus, front sitting and sunroom areas deliver flexibility. Clever design makes for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The open-air courtyard is a dream for barbecues, drinks and any major celebration.
A French Lacanche cooker. The finest Gaggenau and Liebherr appliances. A preparation kitchen behind the main – nothing but the best for the home chef.
The original outhouse and stables are the centrepieces of a Moascar-side backyard. An extra driveway means more cars off-street. New lawn for energetic kids - all kept secure by electric gates.
A purpose-built, fully secure wine cellar offers a sink, dishwasher and space for 1000+ bottles. Canadian cedar, temperature stable. Made for the collector.
A double-sided wood fire makes for cosy winter nights. Alarm and CCTV offer peace of mind. Hydronic-heated panels and towel rails, refrigerated air, keyless entry, surround sound, Italian lights, laundry with a drying cupboard, irrigation and two carports complete the picture.
Right by Coonans Hill cafés, Moonee Ponds Creek, acres of parkland, Strathmore Station, elite schools and CityLink.
SEALS THE DEAL
History that pre-dates Melbourne as a city. Foundational heritage, enduring substance, infinite significance.
Never to be repeated. One of Melbourne’s true trophy-homes.
