Landmark Federation residence with commanding easterly views enjoys a rich and proud history, built in 1904 for local writer and stockbroker, John May, on a vast elevated allotment measuring 2208 sqm (approx). Generous proportions and charismatic period features are wonderful hallmarks of a bygone era, appealing now for a sympathetic renovation to create a distinguished family home or professional rooms (STCA).
