If walls could talk, they'd tell tales of the creation of the Mount Lawley Estates, Summer evening tennis parties and of Dame Dorothy Tangney, Australia's first woman Senator, holding forth in elegant formal rooms. They'd whisper of chauffeurs polishing Rolls Royces with cotton buds, of long table lunches on lush green lawns and of children running around deep, shaded verandahs and extensive grounds that make this rare residence feel more akin to a country estate than near city abode.

Situated on magnificent 1620sqm (approx) block of mature trees and gardens, including a majestic Norfolk Pine, Ginko Tree, glorious Poinciana that shades the backyard, pretty Wisteria that frames the studio and garage entry and of course a citrus grove, this local Longroyd landmark with its grand character facade is undeniably special.

Upgraded to include 4 bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, formal and informal living and dining spaces PLUS a spacious studio above the large garage/workshop, the generous and versatile floorplan offers supremely comfortable accommodation and living arrangements as is, or could be further extended to create something truly awe-inspiring.
