45 Mary Street, Hawthorn Vic
The glory days of the 1880s are beautifully preserved in this architecturally significant boom-style Victorian mansion, one of the first in the Grace Park Estate. Stained glass, ornate ceilings, crystal chandeliers and marble fireplaces impress in the huge formal sitting and dining room. Modern-day comforts include a light and airy family room, a lift, a billiard room with bar, and a pool.
762 Strathalbyn Road, Mylor SA
Bordered by 1.5 kilometres of Onkaparinga River frontage, Warrakilla is an 18-hectare estate home to a magnificent 1880s Victorian homestead recently updated by interior designer Georgie Shepherd. Inside, you'll find impressive casual and formal living spaces, and marble finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms. Outside, the pool looks over manicured, English-style gardens.
5 Verdant Avenue, Toorak Vic
Bewitching curves and handmade bricks hint at something special here. Designed by Inarc, this graceful riverside house offers a sunny family room with a streamlined kitchen opening to a patio. A second living room, study and retreat are handy, while the plunge pool and Paul Bangay gardens add to the appeal. The agent says top-tier schools are moments away.
