Set on lush and magnificently landscaped grounds, this landmark Victorian residence is one of the finest homes in the surrounding area of Hawthorn East.

Strathnaver dates to circa 1886 and is perfectly situated in a leafy avenue lined with a beautiful canopy of trees, amongst many other period homes in a sought-after pocket.

Showcasing the grand and impressive proportions of its era, Strathnaver has been faithfully renovated to preserve its traditional period features throughout, whilst the interior also delivers luxurious living and entertaining spaces geared towards today’s families.

“Set in a breathtakingly beautiful and private garden on a magnificent allotment of over 2,000 sqm, this grand and much admired Victorian residence is the epitome of family living and offers an enviable lifestyle,” James Tostevin told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.
