4 bed, 2 bath, 1 car, 2.5 EER

Designed by Melbourne architects and engineers, this classical Kenneth Oliphant home is on the pinnacle of Arthur Circle with parkland next to the front and elevated northern views to the rear.

This stately home feels relaxed and inviting yet private and unassuming, hidden by a green canopy of Manchurian pear, liquidambar and Japanese maple trees.

The charm of its classic cottage facade continues inside to a sympathetically extended plan of more than 218 square metres of internal living, plus meandering decks and courtyards.

Highlights include French doors opening onto the shaded deck and pool, towering ceilings, an ornate mantle and cosy fireplace – truly a stylish, sophisticated home in a magnificent location.
