Significant Victorian estate on the school circuit

Arguably one of the most significant period estates in Bayside today, and certainly one of the grandest homes in the Brighton school precinct, Melville c.1880 includes a notable single-level Victorian mansion, recreation buildings, a fully-tiled auto-clean pool and spa, mod-grass tennis court and 4 car garaging within its formally landscaped approx 3014sqm grounds.

Offering family accommodation on a grand scale, this six bedroom plus home-office, 7.5 bathroom home provides smartly zoned multi-suite accommodation with a bedroom wing culminating in a lofty poolside master domain (with dressing-room and double ensuite) and an entertaining zone set beyond a central water-feature courtyard.

The ultimate entertainer, this high-impact home features gracious formal lounge and dining rooms, a vast games-room (incorporating a 9-seat theatre) and an expansive northerly-oriented family area with multiple spaces to lounge and dine around a Rosieres and Corian kitchen. With a poolside al fresco pavilion and BBQ kitchen extending entertainment outdoors and a change-room and a separate mirrored gym extending recreation beyond the tennis court, this remarkable home has a uniquely practical approach too - with a butler's pantry for the kitchen, play-room beside the garage and every conceivable appointment throughout.

Appointed with C-Bus Home automation, zoned air-conditioning and hydronic heating, the home has video-intercom, security and ducted vacuum systems, a mix of gas and open fireplaces (even for the gym) and significant underground water-storage. In the heart of the school circuit at an iconic address, this notable home offers grace, grandeur and an entertaining life with Church St within a walk, the bay within a jog and the city within a relaxed beachfront commute.
