"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.
The charming facade reflects the characteristics of yesteryear, with a superb wrap-around verandah with timber lacework overseeing manicured cottage gardens behind a quaint picket fence. Inside, flexible proportions are fit for any growing family, with exquisitely detailed 12' high ceilings, Baltic Pine flooring, original leadlight and sash windows magnifying the allure. A versatile floor plan with up to five bedrooms accommodate all stages of life, including the master bedroom brilliantly updated with a luxurious dual vanity ensuite and walk-through robe, emulated by a fully renovated family bathroom with double marble vanity and freestanding bath.
The open-plan dining and kitchen is brilliantly illuminated by north-facing light from the alfresco zone and offers superb catering from the timeless, well-appointed kitchen and formal lounge (once the stables) with open fireplace with sliding door access to the outdoors.
Beautiful established gardens provide a sense of serenity and privacy, with a covered alfresco overlooking the inground pool deck, ideal for summer nights and days entertaining guests. Other standout features include a second lounge, ducted gas heating, split system cooling, study/home office with external access, substantial 4m x 5m attic, four fireplaces, and a single garage with additional off-street parking for two.
