"Lethe" circa 1908 Edwardian charm with a rich history!

Unforgettable elegance and grandeur define this glorious Edwardian home, thoughtfully updated to reflect a modern lifestyle with careful consideration of its original period features.

This original homestead built by and occupied for 45 years by legendary Melbourne Cup-winning horse trainer Jack Holt, representing a slice of Mordialloc history that is sure to inspire. An amazing picture hangs in the hallway showing the landmark home in all its glory back in the 1920's with the huge stables in the back ground.
