The architecture, designed by Rob Mills, is a throwback to four centuries of European elegance.
Highlights include a mansard slate roof and use of French oak, cast iron and Venetian plasterwork.
New visitors are greeted by a grand entrance hall with double-height ceilings and a grand sweeping staircase.
Additional features include ivy draped French doors leading to a private garden and ducted heating, a must for Melbourne’s cold winters.
