The Feel

Welcome to ‘Chewton’ – an extraordinary, large family home situated on a pretty, tree-lined street. This home offers family flexibility on a scale rarely seen.
Many of the other grand homes which surround Chewton are of historical significance as it was in this pocket of Yarraville that the managers of the cotton and sugar mills resided and this is evident in their grandeur.

Extended to accommodate a modern family lifestyle, this incredible five-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3 living area and 2 study space Victorian home allows families of all kinds to live, study, work and play in style, while being among one of the most vibrant communities in Melbourne.

This is the property the kids and their kids will always think of as ‘home’.
