87 Dorking Road, Box Hill North, VIC 3129

建于1891年，为尊敬的Box Hill居民William Thodey量身定制，这座独特的文化遗产别墅展现了著名墨尔本建筑师Arthur E. Clarke的法国第二帝国时期建筑风格，内部外部均保存有许多令人着迷的特色。

占地1799平方米，这座房产在过去的123年历史中，曾为一些杰出的家庭所拥有。但现在，它亟需一次体贴的翻修，以恢复其最初的辉煌。

"McCook House"这个名字是为了纪念它深爱的前居民而命名的，它是Whitehorse地区唯一的法国第二帝国时期住宅建筑，提供了一个独一无二的机会。

外观上，这座庄园的经典红砖立面与宽阔的阳台、复杂的彩色玻璃前门、精美的托架和带crest的铸铁塔楼相得益彰，塔楼俯瞰着广阔的庭院。

室内，天花板高耸，设有宏伟的雕刻拱门和装饰线脚，原始硬木地板和壁炉。

其中一个房间内还有一幅引人入胜的壁画，据信这是Winifred McCook女士曾用来存放她多次探险至NT、WA和巴布亚新几内亚收集的珍贵文物和物品，以保存土著文化的记录。

该住宅的灵活布局包括正式的客厅和餐厅、厨房以及一间洗衣/mudroom，还有5间宽敞的卧室、一间书房/更衣室和浴室。

地理位置便利，靠近Kerrimuir小学、Our Lady of Sion学院和Box Hill花园。距离Box Hill高中、Box Hill Central、医院和东郊高速公路仅几步之遥。
