Set on .8 of an acre this exceptional half timbered home with vast granite balustrade & steep hipped roof stands prominently as a testament to the turning of the 19th century and glory of Victoria’s yesteryear. In fact it is simply not possible to replicate today the heritage craftsmanship that existed in 1905: Maclure’s signature grand entry hall, the 8 FPs, the floors, the woodwork, the wainscotting... The setting still retains the sunny southern exposure steeped within beautiful landscaped grounds that results in this living masterpiece. Private viewing only.
