The Woolsery, c.1889. Victorian highpoint by...

The original landholding home of the area and now the centrepiece of the Berkeley Gve Heritage precinct, The Woolsery, c.1889 stands tall in a highpoint position as the pre-eminent period home in the Landcox Park locale.

Wide-verandaed, iron-laced and widespread beyond an auto-gated semi-circular drive, significant Victorian steps up to offer two storeys of faithfully restored period grandeur. Graced with up to four bedrooms including a clever separate entry home-office (in addition to a handy fitted first-floor computer space) and 3.5 bathrooms (including a vast two-way dual vanity master ensuite), this notable home features three living zones including gracious formal lounge and dining, an expansive family zone and a flexible third living area perfect as retreat or gymnasium.

Rich with period detail including a soaring arched hallway, Baltic pine floors, deep-corniced ceilings and multiple marble gas and open-fireplaces, this substantial home offers a wealth of contemporary luxury as well, with elite Miele and Ilve appliances for the granite kitchen, marble-topped antique vanities for the period-styled bathrooms, ducted heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, an intercom and alarm.

Set in around 11,400sqft/1,059sqm of bore-water reticulated parklike formal gardens, this gracious Victorian has a curvaceous tessellated tiled terrace overlooking an elegant walled garden with pool, spa and BBQ, while at least five cars can be parked securely including carport space.

Located in the Gardenvale Primary School Zone with parklands at the end of the cul-de-sac, and the tram and local shopping within a walk, this is your chance to make history.
