Tynefield c. 1863 Estate Living Re-created...

Step back in time to when families where large, generations were blended and grand estates lined the beachside. A rare family compound on the edge of the Golden Mile Tynefield c.1863 offers the opportunity to re-create a Golden Age of family living with a grand four bedroom, three bathroom Victorian home plus a two bedroom, 1.5 bathroom guest-house. Set in around 1788m2 Approx of park-like grounds, the property features a state-of the-art al fresco pavilion, tiled pool and spa, a bluestone cellar, double garaging ...even a putting-green.

Built to a unique level of quality (even by the lavish standards of the era) by an early Mayor of Melbourne, the property's main home is a showpiece of Victorian grandeur with bluestone footings, marble fireplaces and elaborate ceilings in grandly proportioned rooms. Opening to wraparound verandas through tall French doors, the home follows a traditional floorplan with grand formal lounge and dining rooms, a spectacular skylit library, and a relaxed pool-view family-room, all cocooned within its 18" thick walls.

Respectfully renovated with a classic granite and Smeg kitchen, designer bathrooms (main with freestanding bath and washplane) and a plantation-shuttered master-domain (with WIR and ensuite), this substantial home is hydronically heated with reverse-cycle air-conditioning, ducted vacuum and cellaring for 105 dozen bottles.

On the western boundary of the property, the second home offers completely self-contained accommodation of equal standing, although on a smaller scale. Opening up beyond imposing double Oak doors, this designer-styled home features lofty bi-fold-walled living (big enough to fit a baby grand piano), a state-of-the-art AEG and stone kitchen, a versatile powder-room/vanity area and a luxe bathroom beside robe-fitted double bedrooms.

Between the homes, the focus is on great outdoors with a state-of-the-art alfresco pavilion (featuring a Callacatta marble kitchen with AEG grill-cooktop, woodfire oven and aquarium) set beside the Lumeah limestone surrounds of the glass-fenced pool and a putting-green in tank-watered gardens.

Situated just 250m from the Golden Mile beachfront in an exclusive court of just eight homes, the property is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the best of today's bayside living. Brighton's schools, cafe-society and shopping are within minutes, Elsternwick Park's wide open spaces are within four blocks, Elwood's beachfront bistros and bar-culture are within a walk...and a unique family lifestyle is right here.
