McGrath is proud to present 16 Kinsmead Street, Waurn Ponds, a truly exceptional property with a rich history. Formerly known as Claremont Homestead, this historical landmark has plans and permits to restore and extend, bringing this home up to modern living standards and expectations, while retaining its prestigious charm of yesteryear. Offering breathtaking views across the evolving Waurn Ponds landscape, extending to the iconic You Yangs. This rare opportunity is being offered by way of a public auction.

With council-approved plans to restore the existing homestead and extend to create a home of 50sqm (approx.), this property is truly one of a kind and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The plans provide for a four-bedroom home plus a study, a master suite with a grand dressing room and ensuite, retaining original fireplaces and chimneys. Two separate living areas, one formal and the second with open-plan dining/living and the large kitchen including a sizeable butler's pantry and laundry.

Originally built in 1857, the former 'Claremont Homestead' was named after County Clare in Ireland and is constructed of red, double brick made from clay on the property and original slate, hipped roof. This property has a rich history, with current plans retaining the stunning heritage features of the home.
