121 Beaconsfield Parade, Albert Park

Named after Duart Castle, the ancestral home of the Maclean clan on the Scottish Isle of Mull, DUART was the Melbourne residence of Allan MacLean, a stock and station agent, pastoralist and politician whose reputation, and fortune, were forged in Gippsland. The home reflects not only the prosperity of its owner, but also the illustrious elegance of the Federation era. Clearly one of Melbourne’s most majestic bay side properties, DUART today boldly, successfully blends iconic originality with superb modern comfort. Soaring ceilings, rich in decorative detail, crown downstairs spaces including four huge double bedrooms sharing two beautifully appointed bathrooms. Introduced by a grand arched entrance hall, the accommodation is complemented by a distinguished separate study and an elegant terrace that precedes a precisely landscaped north facing garden backdrop. Upstairs, a contemporary kitchen graced by granite benches, Ilve appliances and great storage serves an evocative formal dining room featuring bay views. Separate drawing room and large informal living/dining domain and two balconies with city views ensure unforgettable environs for entertaining – and simply enjoying. Equally inviting outside, DUART’s landmark allotment of 881sqm/9338sqft approx includes four car garaging, a feature that adds total convenience to consummate comfort in an address of ultimate lifestyle appeal overlooking Hobson’s Bay. Strictly By Appointment. See www.121beaconsfieldparade.com for more details
