23 Bambra Road Caulfield North

The original homestead of the area and Caulfield's oldest existing residence, "Halstead" is a magnificent example of Australian Colonial grandeur and elegance set within breathtaking 2,760sqm approx. botanic gardens with north-south tennis court, pool and converted stables. Featuring a historic 3 storey tower offering views to the bay and city, it is the first time this local landmark has been offered in 37 years.

Behind the spectacular deep established gardens with pond and circular drive, the stunning interior dimensions combine exquisite period refinement with contemporary designer style. A glorious reception hall boasting elaborate high ceilings introduces a grand sitting room and gracious formal dining room both with marble open fires and a study or den. Palatial in scale, the beautiful main bedroom with open fireplace features a custom fitted walk in robe and marble en suite. There are four additional double bedrooms and two designer bathrooms. A three storey tower with studies or retreats at each level opens to a platform offering panoramic views of the city, the bay and ranges from Caulfield's highest point. The superb marble kitchen appointed with Miele appliances adjoins a family dining area with the original wood stove. Timber floors flow through the inviting living and dining room (marble gas fireplace) which opens out to the captivating northwest facing private garden with picturesque heated pool, north-south mod grass tennis court and BBQ pavilion. The evocative former stables have been brilliantly converted into sensational self-contained accommodation complete with living room, stylish kitchen and bathroom and a generous upstairs bedroom with fitted study and built in robe.
