Features at a glance

This picture-perfect and historic late Victorian home, surrounded by 2,490sqm (approx.) of private botanic gardens, has entered the market for the first time in 45 years. This residence has retained all its grandeur, set well back from the street, and surrounded by old growth palm trees, this is not only a landmark but a quiet oasis unique to Albury’s inner city.

The garden itself sets this property apart, with soaring established treetops, colourful garden beds and a sweeping drive, the glorious original home is surrounded by a wide return verandah from which to enjoy the view.

Upon entry to the home, you are drawn past grand and beautifully expansive formal living zones, down an arched hallway. The hall opens to a gracious front lounge room, grand formal dining room, all boasting ultrahigh ceilings, 1920’s Paris original wallpaper and marble fireplaces.

The palatially proportioned rooms are brimful of romance, all framed by bow and box windows, delicate lead lighting and tasteful fretwork.

An inviting family room or den sits adjacent to the modern appointed kitchen with wooden benches, quality cabinetry and gas cooking. Bathed in natural light, the expansive modern sunroom used as a family and dining room opens from the east to a private undercover oasis.

The generous main bedroom with large sash windows welcomes in the sunlight and greenery of the front lawns. The home has three additional bedrooms, plus an office/study and a separate playroom, all featuring high ceilings and double French doors to the private fernery. The accommodation is serviced by the classical Victorian bathroom featuring brass tapware and an antique clawfoot bathtub.

Complementing the home’s extravagant interior is an expansive yet wonderfully private entertainers’ front and back yard comprising of private fernery, manicured lawns, a marked-out grass tennis court in the side yard and convenient rear lane access.
