Where Victorian Elegance Meets Contemporary Living

Designed in 1869 by John James Clark, the distinguished architect behind Melbourne’s Old Treasury Building, Government House, the Royal Mint and many more buildings. Reinterpreted by acclaimed designer Andrew Parr of SJB. Garden designed by Brent Reid of Candeo Design, celebrated at national and international garden shows.

Originally designed in 1869 by renowned 19th-century architect John James Clark as his own family residence, this imposing double-storey Victorian masterpiece stands proudly on a commanding corner site steeped in history and timeless elegance. Reinterpreted by acclaimed designer Andrew Parr of SJB, the home masterfully balances classic period craftsmanship with refined contemporary living. Behind a bespoke, low-maintenance garden, an authentic Victorian façade with cast-iron balcony detailing and original timber floors (lime-washed) sets the tone for what lies within.

Grand proportions and soaring ceilings define the interiors from the stately front sitting room and formal dining or library, to the spacious family living zone flowing seamlessly to the designer kitchen with a private underground walk-in cellar. Upstairs, a luxurious master suite opens to a beautiful balcony, complemented by a bespoke marble bathroom and extensive built-in robes, all while preserving the home’s enduring warmth and period character. A study room, three additional bedrooms and a central family bathroom complete the upper level. Further highlights include marble fireplaces throughout, exquisite detailing, a low maintenance paved rear garden, and secure off-street parking, accessible via Gipps Street.

A rare opportunity to secure a landmark East Melbourne residence in one of the area’s most tightly held pockets, moments from the Fitzroy Gardens, MCG, and East Melbourne village lifestyle amenities.
