40-42, Rosserdale Crescent, MOUNT ELIZA, VIC, 3930, Australia
Mount Eliza
‘Summerslease’
Encompassing approximately 1,535sqm of flawlessly sculpted Andrew Stark gardens featured in Best Gardens Australia TV series and in several publications, this iconic c1923 architectural marvel dominates the coveted Ranelagh Estate with its dress circle position and breathtaking bay views, elite position and bespoke beauty.
A historical treasure that embodies sophistication and grandeur at every turn, the American Colonial home designed by architect, Percy Meldrum, promises a memorable first impression with its steep roofline, symmetrical facade, and interior wainscoting throughout.
Setting an aspirational standard of luxury beyond a grand entrance foyer, the interior reveals a collection of stylishly curated living and dining rooms highlighted by a grand formal living room with double fireplace, a secret wine cellar handcrafted and designed by Zuster, a formal dining room overlooking the garden and pool-facing sunroom.
Complemented by an elegant high-grade expansive kitchen outfitted with an AGA 4 door cooker and Miele wall stack, including coffee machine and warming drawer, entertaining extends to an award-winning landscaped garden where a series of alfresco settings anchor a salt chlorinated pool.
Upstairs apartment-style living accompanies five additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a private attic suite, and luxurious master with marble-finished ensuite, dressing room, and balcony access.
With custom wall murals by artist Bethany Linz, additional first-class highlights include a mudroom, study nook, polished hardwood Marie Antoinette parquet floors, feature wall panelling, thoughtful exterior storage, secure boat/caravan parking and off-street accommodation for two or more vehicles.
Positioned alongside an internal reserve and Ranelagh Beach access, a short walk journeys to Ranelagh Club, Mount Eliza Village, and Mount Eliza Tennis Club, while Toorak College and Peninsula Grammar are just moments from home.
A Coastal Retreat for Two Australian Icons
Perched above the sparkling waters of Port Phillip Bay, 40–42 Rosserdale Crescent, Mount Eliza is more than a prestigious address, it is a quiet witness to moments shared by two of Australia’s most celebrated figures: Field Marshal Sir Thomas Blamey, the nation’s only field marshal and a towering military leader, who wrote his memoirs in the guest room and Walter Lindrum, the world’s greatest billiards champion, who played and practiced in the homes ground floor pool room.
Their presence here with its heritage charm, became a favoured gathering place for Melbourne’s elite in the mid-20th century Blamey and Lindrum offering a unique intersection of military valour and sporting brilliance, set against the backdrop of Mount Eliza’s coastal beauty.
