One of a row of four stone terraces, each as ornate as the next and all named for Victorian gold-rush towns, this century-old beauty has been elegantly reimagined. It’s the perfect Plympton position too: walk to George Street shopping, dining and live music, enjoy a Pilates class, or wander over to the river nearby.
Bottlebrushes line the pretty streetscape, while beyond is all the finery of its Federation Italianate origins, wrapped in white picket fencing: limestone, brickwork, rendered detailing and a parapet proudly displaying its namesake, ‘Glenlyon.’
Inside, Oregon floors line the high-ceilinged spaces adorned with decorative roses and even a skylight or two. Two bedrooms and a living area span the long arched hallway, all with built-in robes or storage and fireplaces, while the modern bathroom incorporates a concealed Euro laundry. Out the side door is an unexpected surprise – an old clawfoot bath to enjoy in outdoor privacy.
A glass door with curved steel framing signals the new: a brilliant extension by Cambridge Homes in 2024, skylit from the north. The stone-topped kitchen is a masterpiece: central island, bespoke sage cabinetry, ribbed timber detailing, and high-end NEFF and Artusi appliances integrated, including a fridge/freezer, bar fridge and Billi tap for instant hot, cold and sparkling.
Upstairs, the master suite exudes luxury and privacy. Cooled by louvres and carpeted for comfort, the ensuite is exquisite: herringbone tiles with underfloor heating, rainshower behind fluted glass, walk-in closet and separate WC.
From the kitchen, glass stacks open to a sheltered alfresco draped in greenery, with a built-in barbecue and built-in bench seating for guests to spread out. There’s storage behind a roller door, making it easy to stash the bikes away via the rear laneway, plus a single off-street car bay – a rarity in this pocket.
Ducted/zoned air-conditioning to the original home, split-system air to the extension, solar hot water, and keypad-gated entry (from the laneway) finish it all impeccably.
Homes like this are increasingly rare, with more than a century separating its history from its modern makeover – what an opportunity to make this one yours.
