‘Cumnock’ C1889 – Victorian Grandeur meets World-Class Luxury
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has arisen to secure a jewel in Melbourne’s architectural crown – ‘Cumnock’ is a resplendent Victorian Italianate mansion set across approximately 1,376 sqm opposite Royal Park.
Surrounded by stunning landscaped gardens, this historic masterpiece echoes ornate grandeur with retained integrity across two vastly proportioned levels including eleven principal rooms and two staircases.
Remodelled and renovated with world-class luxury in mind, the flexible floorplan offers a plethora of options for future use including a landmark family home with an attached business, home office, executive suites or professional consulting rooms.
Designed by exalted homegrown architect, Charles Webb, famed for creating the Windsor Hotel, Royal Arcade and Mandeville Hall, it stands as a fine reflection of Melbourne’s domestic wealth following the boom period of Victoria’s Gold Rush.
The statuesque façade reveals an elegant pressed-metal foyer graced with soaring ceilings, polished floorboards, towering archways and intricate stained glass. Overlooking the grounds is an opulent formal dining room and an exquisite formal living room with bay windows. Nearby is a superb home office with a separate library/potential ground floor 5th bedroom with a walk-in robe. Sumptuous family room and state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with premium Miele appliances, bespoke cabinetry and a spacious meals zone.
French doors open onto a spectacular terrace with a fishpond centrepiece in private sun-dappled surrounds, tailored for entertaining on an extravagant scale. Also downstairs is a stylish two-zoned bathroom, powder room and fully equipped laundry.
The light-filled first floor has an enormous rumpus room, a glorious wraparound balcony and a turreted viewing tower with panoramic park views. With built-in robes throughout, accommodation includes a marvellous master wing with a lavish marble ensuite, three additional huge bedrooms and a stylish designer bathroom with a freestanding bath, shower and separate w/c.
Furthermore, it features an impressive wine cellar, 2x reverse cycle ducted split systems and a dedicated hydronic heating system, nine original fireplaces and three off-street car spaces with secure access from Walker Street.
Occupying a prominent Parkville address, this gracious property is placed steps from the 24-hectare expanse of Royal Park, Princes Park and CBD trams, and strolling distance to The University of Melbourne, Royal Park station, Barkly Square shops and the hospital precinct along with easy access via the Tullamarine Freeway to the airport.
