Beyond the grandeur of a fountain garden and glorious villa facade, a distinguished family estate unfolds across an expansive 1,706 sqm approx. setting where this magnificent Victorian villa (c.1890) fusing period elegance and modern luxury overlooks a substantial north-facing rear entertainment sanctuary. Commanding a prestigious position in one of Hawthorn’s most coveted pockets, this superbly renovated and extended residence presents an unsurpassed family opportunity close to leading private schools.
