A residence of remarkable history, architectural beauty and enduring prestige, Sunnyside Farm at 134–136 Atkinson Street, Templestowe represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of the area’s most distinguished landmark estates. Dating to circa 1890 and set amid approximately 2,225sqm of magnificent established grounds, this extraordinary Italianate homestead is a captivating reminder of Templestowe’s rich past, offering a level of character, scale and presence seldom encountered today.
Beyond its commanding period façade and sweeping circular driveway, the residence immediately establishes a sense of occasion. Framed by mature greenery and expansive gardens, its stately proportions, ornate architectural detailing and unmistakable heritage character create an impressive first encounter, while the substantial landholding affords a degree of privacy and tranquillity that feels remarkably removed from its convenient suburban setting.
Inside, the home unfolds across an expansive single-level floorplan where the grandeur of its heritage is beautifully preserved. Soaring ceilings, intricate period detailing, magnificent bay windows and generously proportioned rooms speak to an era of craftsmanship and elegance, while an abundance of natural light enhances the warmth and character found throughout.
Multiple formal and informal living domains provide exceptional versatility for both intimate family life and grand-scale entertaining. Elegant sitting and dining spaces celebrate the home's traditional proportions, while more relaxed family areas provide an inviting environment for everyday living. At the heart of the residence, the beautifully appointed kitchen offers generous preparation and storage space and enjoys an effortless connection with the surrounding living and entertaining zones.
Accommodation is equally impressive, comprising four generously scaled bedrooms and two bathrooms, with each space benefiting from the home's characteristic volume, natural light and timeless detailing. The considered single-level layout further enhances the home's enduring liveability, providing exceptional comfort for families across every stage of life.
