THEN VS NOW // Queen & Collins Streets
A look back at Queen & Collins Streets, c.1890.
The striking Gothic Bank had only recently been completed when this photograph was taken. Built in 1887 as a residence for bank manager George Verdon, its elaborate design came at a cost - with construction finishing at double the original budget.
More than a century later, it remains a distinctive part of Melbourne’s architectural history.

PURCHASED | Brighton
Another beautiful result for our clients. We secured this architecturally designed residence at the close of an Expressions of Interest campaign.
EOI campaigns can feel opaque for buyers: no auction floor to read, no visible competition, and just one chance to get your offer right. Our role is to cut through that uncertainty with sharp market knowledge, a clear strategy and confident negotiation.
The result? We purchased significantly under the bottom end of the quoted range, at the close of the EOI.
Congratulations to our wonderful clients, and well done to Penelope Siemering for a superb negotiation!

DID YOU KNOW // DUTCH DOORS

Ever noticed a traditional door split in two, with the top and bottom opening independently?? They were designed so farmers could keep animals out of the house while still letting light and fresh air in through the open top half.
Practical, distinctive and full of character, they remain a much-loved architectural feature centuries later.

DID YOU KNOW //
Ever wondered why some period homes have windows that have been bricked up?
It may not have been a design choice.

Introduced in England in 1696, the Window Tax meant property owners paid according to the number of windows in their home. For some, the solution was to simply brick them up.

The tax remained in place for more than 150 years, leaving a lasting mark on British architecture.

When buying imagine you are selling the property. Resale is a key consideration when purchasing real estate.
Key elements include orientation, floor plan, style and position. These elements either cannot be changed or are costly.

Did you know? //
Current property pricing require us to question deeply the properties value.
We consider not only the comparables from the valuer generals figures, but the current market dynamics and sentiment. We also factor in the demographic for the home.
Currently we are finding not all quotes to be accurate. Our most recent acquisition we purchased 2.3% below the bottom of the quote range!

ARCHITECTURAL & STYLE INSIGHTS //
Rippon Lea Estate in Elsternwick was completed in 1868 for Frederik Sargood who lived there with his wife, nine children, seven maids, seven gardeners, a butler, a coachman and a groom. The estate still holds the largest fernery in the Southern Hemisphere.

A good reminder that Melbourne's grandest homes were built as much for lifestyle as for status.
