LOYOLA - Timeless Victoria Grandeur
Built circa 1907 and offered across two titles, this remarkable property presents not only a magnificent character home but also exciting flexibility for the future.
From the moment you enter, the home's heritage is immediately apparent. Impressive 12-foot ceilings create a wonderful sense of space, while polished Baltic pine floorboards, original fireplaces with cast-iron inserts and intricate period detailing reflect the craftsmanship of its era.
The formal lounge is a standout, showcasing a magnificent original pressed metal ceiling, while the hallway features decorative pressed metal dado panels. Baltic timber ceilings add further character to the bedrooms, creating a home filled with distinctive features rarely found today.
At the heart of the residence is a beautiful solid timber kitchen, complemented by stone benchtops, newly installed Blackbutt flooring and stunning leadlight windows and doors. Warm and welcoming, it provides a practical space for everyday living while remaining perfectly in keeping with the home's traditional character.
The period charm continues outdoors with expansive wraparound verandas, established cottage gardens, brick pathways and an attractive period-style front fence. A generous 7m x 4m rear deck provides an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while an automated sprinkler system assists with maintaining the established gardens.
A substantial renovation and extension completed in 2008 introduced important modern upgrades, including rewiring, replumbing, improved insulation and restumping. The home also features electric ducted heating and cooling with zoned climate control, a beautiful clawfoot bath, updated shower, built-in laundry and the convenience of an external toilet.
Excellent shedding and parking further enhance the property, with a double carport adjoining a 6m x 6m powered workshop with concrete flooring - ideal for storage, hobbies, trades or those simply wanting additional workspace.
Adding another dimension to this unique offering is the property's two-title configuration. The second title already has power and sewer connected, providing valuable flexibility and potential for future development, subject to council approval (STCA).
Loyola is much more than a residence - it is a beautifully preserved piece of history. With its soaring ceilings, intricate pressed metal detailing, Baltic timber, leadlight craftsmanship and unmistakable Victorian presence, this is a property with a character and individuality all its own.
Homes of this calibre and heritage are increasingly difficult to find, making Loyola an opportunity to be appreciated in person.
Private Inspections - To experience the craftsmanship, history and timeless appeal of Loyola, private inspections are highly recommended. Contact Stuart Wilson 0404 550 429.
