519 Dryburgh Street, North Melbourne

Welcome to Milton Hall. Built in 1884 by the architects who designed the town halls in Collingwood, Fitzroy, Northcote and Daylesford, for the mayor of what would become North Melbourne, this palatial Victorian residence is a stunning work of period architecture. Its sale offers a rare opportunity to restore this heritage ‘home on Hotham Hill’ to its original grandeur.

Set on 449sqm (approx.), including garden and courtyard, Milton Hall showcases period details throughout, from the balcony columns, moulded brickwork, and decorative cast iron frieze work of its imposing façade, through fireplaces, ceiling roses, ornate cornices and moulded archways inside.

The four grand front rooms of the house are set under soaring 3.7m ceilings, and upstairs finds a pair of stately libraries and an incredible living space that was originally built to be a ballroom, and which opens out to a sweeping covered wraparound balcony. On opening, the Advertiser newspaper enthused that “Milton Hall is replete with every comfort, and has been completed in a style regardless of cost”.

This impressive building standing proudly on the corner of Dryburgh and Curran Streets, mere metres from Flemington Road. It sits within easy walking distance of Royal Park, Melbourne Zoo, Melbourne’s hospital district, North Melbourne Recreation Centre, cafés, supermarkets, zoned schools (North Melbourne Primary, University High School) and more.
