Off to the spring races, or thinking about punting on a property?
Celebrated milliner Tamasine Dale has listed her stylish South Yarra home with a price guide of $15 million to $16.5 million.
The four-bedroom residence is set on an oversized block of 1635 square metres within the Como Park precinct.
Dating to the 1900s, the Federation home is topped by a spire visible from the sweeping circular driveway, and features include vaulted ceilings, bay windows and leadlight windows.
Contemporary updates include a gourmet Miele kitchen, a dining space that leads to an outdoor entertaining area and hedged gardens. The main bedroom comes with a marble en suite, and there’s a self-contained studio for any visitors.
Records show the home last traded for $4,135,000 in 2004.
Tamasine Dale’s work is included in the National Gallery of Victoria and she is based in Melbourne and Paris.
Her former husband is Gary Theodore of Australian fashion label Scanlan Theodore.
Agents on the listing are Marshall White’s Marcus Chiminello, Nicole French and Nicholas Brooks.
“It is probably the quintessential country in the city home with the lot,” Chiminello said.
“Remnants of period features, a beautiful garden outlook and an unexpected amount of space outside. It is rare in this part of South Yarra.”
