Yarroma, Hawthorn garden block sells
Yarroma, the 1872 Hawthorn garden estate, has been subdivided with the tennis court building block sold.
The garden block with coach house covered 3,082 square metres.
The Coppin Grove riverfront mansion remains on 2,930 square metres which has been retained by the O’Brien family, and remains for sale.
The historic Victorian mansion in the renowned St James Park Estate precinct came with $10 million plus hopes when Title Tattle reported on its October 2011 offering through Marcus Chiminello at Marshall White Armadale. The entire estate had reported $18 million total value estimates.
Chiminello was recently named Australian Agent of the Year for the third consecutive year and inducted into the AREA Hall of Fame.
No price indication has been given for the building block sale.
With elevated city skyline views, the house was built in 1872 to a design by James T. Conlan in a Romanesque revival style.
Gracing one of Melbourne's finest positions featuring absolute river frontage, it has superb botanical environs and city skyline views.
It is understood the vacant block with tennis court has been bought by a boat loving Southbank mortgage broker executive. So presumably he might take the opportunity to construct a home with cantilevered boatshed and mooring.
