MAGNIFICENT 1880S MANSION
PRESENTING an incredibly rare and exciting opportunity to become the next custodians of ‘Rossmoyne’, one of the area’s oldest and most magnificent residences. This stately 1880s mansion is being offered for the first time in over 20 years. Nestled amongst beautiful, established gardens on a substantial 2067sqm (approx.), this elegant and impeccably maintained home simply commands attention from its elevated position on Surrey Road. Past a sweeping driveway and deep return verandah, a grand entrance hall with exquisite leadlight, decorative plasterwork, wainscoting and original timber ceilings provides the perfect welcome, setting the scene for the calibre of the finishes that can be found within. A formal lounge (fireplace) looks out across the stunning gardens and will set hearts aflutter with its elegance and period detailing. An equally impressive formal dining room complete with stained timber panelling and separate servery room is located opposite - imagine the grand gatherings that have taken place within these walls. An open plan living/dining zone and contemporary kitchen extend to an outdoor room with built-in barbeque, while a home office and master bedroom with semi-ensuite access complete the main residence’s lower level. Two additional over-sized bedrooms - both with ensuites are positioned upstairs along with a pretty alcove from which views to the Dandenongs can really be appreciated. Ducted heating,
split systems, a three-car garage and triple carport are among the home’s practicalities. Former servants’ quarters and a rear cottage provide potential guest accommodation - they are both self-
contained with living areas, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, and enjoy their own private access. This unparalleled and historically significant property is situated in the sought-
after Rosewood Downs estate and is close to schools, parks, shopping destinations and transport. ●
