6 Highmoor Avenue, Bayswater VIC 3153

Landmark 'Highmoor' on 3321sqms corner.

The iconic 1880-built 'Highmoor' homestead offers all the grace of the Victorian era, set on a grand 3300sqms (approx.) corner with potential to subdivide (STCA) and develop with spectacular views to the hills, along the fringe of the Bayswater shopping hub.
The heritage listed home charms with 4.3m (14ft) ceilings, original leadlight windows, marble fireplaces, and the contemporary enhancements of hydronic heating, a granite kitchen and an extended living and bedroom wing.
Heading up the floor plan is a master suite with a spa ensuite, with grand living rooms drawing you further along the imposing hallway.
A light-filled family room opens to a pergola overlooking the expanse of blank land at the rear, which opens up the potential for additional builds (STCA) on this rare allotment.
For a discerning buyer, the character-rich residence showcases the dramatic elegance of Victorian architecture including a magnificent return verandah and towering corniced ceilings.
'Highmoor' was once used as a tavern, a maternal hospital, and private residence with famed owners including the sister of Dame Nellie Melba.
Many of the original trees have been removed with council permission except for a stunning shady Oak tree along the driveway.
Concept plans explore the subdivision and development prospects (STCA) of this prime site which is a convenient 5min walk to shops, restaurants and the train station.
Now the landmark property promises a chance at fresh vision as it's offered for sale for the first time in 20 years.
