Combining the romantic sophistication of the Victorian era with the elegant homeliness of a country estate, this stunning Bolwarra property is unlike anything else on the market.

Built circa 1880 during a period when Bolwarra's original farmlands were beginning to be replaced by fine country residences, the home is a wonderful example of Victorian architecture with soaring 13 foot ceilings, ornate cornices, stamped ceilings and double hung sash windows.

Stunning cedar window frames, door frames, decorative archways and skirting boards, along with the original mixed hardwood timber floors, offer a richness of texture and warmth, while cast iron fireplaces and a mixture of luxurious marble and turned timber mantels add to the elegance of the rooms.

While the original period features exude an air of authenticity and elegance, sympathetic additions over the years have seamlessly brought the home into the modern era with elements of luxury and convenience including downlights, two ducted air conditioning systems, underfloor heating, gas cooking appliances and a built-in sound system.

The home has an expansive internal floorplan reflecting the grandeur of the overall estate, with both formal and casual living spaces allowing for relaxed modern living and more refined entertaining options.

The current owners have further adapted the layout with a meticulous renovation that created a spacious and well-appointed laundry space, and a luxurious master suite.

With only two owners in the last quarter of a century, the sale of this magnificent, tightly-held property offers a rare chance to become part of the historic fabric of this suburb.
