L'eleganza Senza Tempo Della Federazione Con Maestria Artigianale

Built in the Federation era and shaped by the Arts and Crafts movement, this stately double-brick corner-block residence, ’Cyrandels’, has been preserved with a devotion that is immediately felt. The original, unspoilt grandeur is everywhere to be seen. There’s plenty of natural light. Step inside and the exquisite leadlight begins, each window individually composed, each pane catching light differently through the day. White Meranti timber joinery and fretwork threads through the interior with a craftsman’s hand. Original decorative cornices, deep window sills, soaring ceilings, high skirtings and warm timber floorboards speak to a home rich in authentic period detail that no renovation can replicate and no new build can match.

The gracious lounge reveals an original open fireplace and a bay window lined with built-in leather seating that looks out over the north-facing front garden. The dining room draws the eye to a gas fireplace behind an arched conversation nook of genuine beauty. Double French doors spill out onto an alfresco patio. The kitchen, appointed with a St George gas cooktop & wall oven, dishwasher and walk-in pantry, revolves around a solid Victorian Ash square island bench that doubles as a meals table for six. A ground floor bathroom, a laundry fitted with space for a hobby or sewing table and a fold-out ironing board. Roller door access to two off-street car spaces.

The staircase rises through several levels, revealing five bedrooms of generous proportions, a large home office with a built-in desk for two, and a second bathroom. The master bedroom opens to a front balcony curtained in deep Bougainvillea purple. Another huge bedroom reaches toward a rear balcony with bay glimpses. Watch the ships go by and see the You Yangs on a clear day. Bespoke solid timber joinery, walk-in linen storage, split-system air conditioning and abundant storage throughout round out a residence that has clearly been lived in and loved.
