This unique Arts and Craft residence, designed by Samuel Maclure, was built in 1907 for the Shallcross family who emigrated from Ireland. A Gaelic inscription over the fireplace "Cead Mille Failthe" translates as "One Hundred Thousand Welcomes". The residence survived the years in remarkably original condition but was restored and improved by the current owners over the last couple of years at considerable cost. Great care was taken to protect and enhance the architectural integrity of the home. For example, while the kitchen and bathrooms could certainly be described as luxurious it does not conflict with the style and finish of the period and the addition of the double garage is seamless to the original architecture. The entire basement development is new and adds a further 1700 sq. ft. of beautifully finished space which provides family or guest space. Without a doubt the most striking feature of this home is the two storey centre hall or great room which gives a feeling of an exclusive lodge. The mechanical, electrical and heating/air conditioning systems within the house are new and to the highest standard to ensure the comfort and convenience of modern living. Prominently situated on the highest elevation of the one acre site, the home has been further enhanced by the sophisticated yard development and landscaping design/materials all added with the current owners direction...  few properties in Victoria can compete with this striking estate.MLS264086
