This mid-Victorian era home certainly has a lot of history in its walls. At one point it became six separate apartments, but it lives again as one enormous rambling residence on approximately 1200 square metres. There are nooks and crannies everywhere, dressing rooms, and stairs that lead nowhere. There are striking wooden ceilings and a huge three-room underground cellar. In truth, it is a difficult floorplan for a modern family to contemplate having a cohesive life in. This is all about the romance of drawing rooms and libraries and stables and it is not hard to indulge a vision of the place as an upscale boutique hotel. The disconnected levels and quirky spaces could provide privacy and intimacy – the property would really rediscover its status. The investment challenges of such a dream would be huge, along with managing the parking, and getting council approval for practically everything. There is currently space for five cars at the side, as well as separate lane access to another building at the rear. This home deserves a grand vision whatever the future holds. It will be interesting to see what comes next for the esteemed East Melbourne asset.
