A landmark Victorian villa in Hawthorn’s St James Park Estate, ‘Zetland’ c1873 is an historically significant residence seeking new owners to rediscover its innate grandeur.

Agent Sam Wilkinson told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “This magnificent Victorian villa is an iconic piece of Melbourne architectural history. It is a home of true beauty, it offers a wonderful and unique opportunity for a family to upgrade and bring it in to the modern age. A superb elevated position on the edge of Hawthorn’s premier estate, St James Park, ensures that the spectacular nature of the home is perfectly complemented by its AAA grade prestige location.”

Designed by celebrated architect William J. Ellis while he put the final touches on the prominent Fitzroy Town Hall, the historic home’s contribution to the prestigious standing of Hawthorn’s most desirable river-side precinct has been recognised by the National Trust.

The timeless façade retains its original period profile, including a 7-arch ornamental ironwork veranda and slate roof, while interiors reveal a wide arched hallway, marble open fireplaces, timber floors and even servants’ bells.

The spacious 7-room layout features a series of superbly-proportioned spaces including four bedrooms (two with ensuites), a formal dining room or executive study, large living room, and family bathroom. The family/meals area adjoins a modern kitchen with walk-in pantry.

Standing on a 981 sqm allotment (approx.) with rear ROW, the property also encompasses the original Hawthorn brick stable (converted to a remote-control garage) and an expansive paved terrace.
