Summary: Linden Lea: A Sherbrooke Landmark of Grandeur and Grace
Description: Tucked away at the end of iconic Poets Lane, Linden Lea stands as a Sherbrooke landmark - a grand residence of presence and grace. Set within an original 1920s Edna Walling garden spanning two acres, it balances privacy with a sense of connection, its setting nothing short of enchanting. Just moments from the Golden Mile of Sherbrooke and a leisurely stroll to the George Tindale Memorial Gardens, the lifestyle here is as much about forest rambles and birdsong as it is about coffee in Kallista or brunch in Sassafras. Curved pathways, majestic trees, and sweeping lawns unfold with quiet dignity, each detail a reminder of the heritage, artistry, and enduring charm that define this rare estate. The double-storey residence, lovingly extended and renovated, offers a rare balance of historic character and modern ease. From freshly updated bathrooms and soft new carpets to wide verandahs that provide front row garden views and picture windows that frame the landscape, the home adapts beautifully to both quiet retreats and large-scale entertaining. The antique staircase, salvaged from Melbourne's Queen Victoria Hospital and finished with Blackwood railing from the Presbyterian Ladies College, rises like a living heirloom. Italian floor tiles patterned like Persian rugs, lacework cast from 19th-century moulds, and a hand-carved mahogany fire surround in the lounge imbue every room with artistry and permanence. Even the furnishings contribute - with select pieces, including the billiards table and dining setting, remaining as part of the estate. The chic Caesarstone kitchen is built for entertainers: sleek Bosch double ovens, gas cooktop, and a practical design that pivots easily to the living and meals zone, while the formal dining room and fireside lounge provide the perfect counterpoint for evenings of elegance and conversation. One of the home's most enchanting spaces is the conservatory-style sunroom off the lounge, where walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, leaving you wrapped in the shifting beauty of the gardens through every season. Upstairs, four lavish bedrooms are quietly tucked away, three with walk-in robes and three with verandah access. A sitting area and a large study/library (or fifth bedroom) expand the options, while the luxe master suite with walk-in robe, ensuite, and attached sunroom retreat becomes its own sanctuary. Downstairs, a third fully renovated bathroom and powder room complete the practical layout. Outdoors, the grounds are park-like, adorned with mature trees, and sweeping lawns. There's a firepit zone with a brick pizza oven for long lunches with family and friends, space for children's play under shady boughs, and raised cypress vegetable beds with orchard plantings. The full-sized tennis court adds year-round fun, while visits from kookaburras, rosellas, and echidnas remind you this is hills living at its finest. Steeped in history, enriched by thoughtful design, and embraced by Edna Walling gardens, this is a rare chance to own one of Sherbrooke's truly grand properties - a home with both legacy and lifestyle at its core. At a Glance: -Iconic Sherbrooke landmark set on approx. 2 acres in an Edna Walling-designed garden -The property once housed the original homestead on the 'ten and twenty' selections created in the 1890's. -Freshly updated bathrooms, flooring, and carpets -Fireside lounge with pool table (included), formal dining, & expansive verandahs -Entertainer's stone kitchen with Bosch electric double ovens & gas cooktop -Built-in study nook off the kitchen -Four lavishly sized bedrooms upstairs (three with WIRs, all with verandah access) plus large study/library/fifth bedroom -Roof mounted projector, screen & speakers in Bedroom 2 -Luxe master suite with ensuite, walk-in robe, & attached sunroom retreat -Third renovated bathroom downstairs plus powder room -Conservatory-style sunroom off the formal lounge -High ceilings (11ft downstairs, 9ft upstairs) -2000sqft of Jarrah verandahs; Jarrah floors in dining, master & library -Edna Walling signature curved pathways, rockwork & garden rooms -Park-like grounds with lawns, deciduous plantings, veggie beds, berry patch, citrus orchard, chicken yard -Firepit zone with working brick pizza oven, full-sized tennis/basketball court, and/or marquee/parking space -Electric remote-controlled gate, double fencing -Remote double garage & separate workshop/shed -Remote sequential garden lighting Disclaimer: All information provided has been obtained from sources we believe to be accurate, however, we cannot guarantee the information is accurate and we accept no liability for any errors or omissions (including but not limited to a property's land size, floor plans and size, building age and condition) Interested parties should make their own enquiries and obtain their own legal advice.
