54 Hotham Street, East Melbourne VIC 3002

This magnificent three-bedroom home, built in 1909 by the leading master builder at the
time, is certainly the perfect sanctuary for rest and renewal. At the time, the Argus newspaper commented that since “this particularly well-appointed house” was built by Clements Langford, the purchaser could be assured of “its stability and finish.”
More than 100 years later, those words have been verified as the original structure remains in remarkably good condition. The interior has also recently been fully refurbished with the greatest respect and the highest quality fixtures, fittings and finishes, making it one of the finest residences in Melbourne’s inner east.
