“Poolman House is a home blessed with both a rich history and future potential,” Jack Nicol told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Expansive manicured gardens, palatial rooms filled with light and elegant original features all define its personality. As one of the largest land holdings in the Domain Precinct, its next owner(s) will own a substantial slice of South Yarra’s most desirable location.”

Spanning 700sqm of living (approx.) and featuring large, elegant principal rooms with many original features, the home’s floorplan is bathed in natural light with separate living quarters, making for an ideal family compound.

The lower level comprises Grand entrance foyer with elegant staircase leading to formal living and separate dining room, spacious country-style kitchen, internal courtyard, grand ballroom, study and family room with French doors opening onto the terrace, swimming pool and tennis court.
