9 Campbell Street, Camperdown, VIC 3260

Built in 1897 by renowned local architect Michael McCabe stands Keeyuga, a three-story iconic South-West landmark, constructed in unison with Camperdown's historic clock tower, Keeyuga's highest point stands parallel with the peak of the famed timepiece. Remarkably constructed and in fabulous condition, this beautiful Victorian era house has been renovated over time to exacting standards by members of the local historical society ensuring absolute period authenticity in every detail of the home, inside and out.

The shaded, lush front garden offers privacy and tranquillity en-route to the grand front entrance door, complete with the original heavy sliding lock and stained glass "Keeyuga" to welcome you. The return veranda dressed in vines and roses, offers the perfect spot for morning tea or afternoon drinks with a view to the soaring fireplace in the original-inspired formal lounge.

Inside the front door you are greeted by a beautiful staircase boasting hand carved wooden handrails; underneath it's rise it offers additional storage space, access to the underground cellar and children's drawings dating back to the McCabe families' occupancy in the 1930's.
