A home that shaped a suburb, resculpted for the 21-century

Auction Sat, 12th Jul - 11.30am (usp) Long before the jacarandas cast their purple canopy across the street, this circa 1910 residence stood quietly watching Clarence Park unfold around it. One of the earliest homes ever built in the suburb, it remains a cornerstone - both literally and figuratively - of the neighbourhood's character. But it hasn't stood still. What began as a stone Villa has expanded with both grace and boldness over time, culminating in a home that flows from its heritage bones into a spectacular, resort-like rear. On its western flank, a castle-like addition gives the façade an almost storybook charm - a rare architectural gesture that asserts itself on an ultra-wide, paddle-shaped parcel. Inside, the original home opens to a grand hallway, giving way to light-filled bedrooms and formal living zones rich with character. Think statement chandeliers, polished timber floors, and ceiling roses that speak to a time when craftsmanship was currency. The western wing is its own event - perfect for hosting or retreating, depending on the moment. It's the northern rear where the home truly exhales: an open-plan living pavilion anchored by a granite-topped kitchen, flooded with natural light and fitted with Smeg appliances and abundant storage. Beyond the glass, a dream-like outdoor domain awaits - complete with a heated pool, alfresco kitchen, floodlit garden, and manicured, bore-fed lawns that make every summer feel like a staycation. The courtyard has been reimagined as a tranquil breakaway space, while the double garage, additional studio, and generous six-car driveway make room for every phase of life - and every kind of gathering. And while it feels like a world away, it's just ten minutes to the CBD, with easy access to bus, tram and train lines. Add proximity to quality schools and shopping, and you're looking at a home that's more than a landmark - it's a lifestyle.
