Built by the founder of a huge hardware store, the craftsmanship of this Northcote property is first class.
The circa-1917 property at 67 James St was the family home of William C. Neeland, who established Neelands Timber Merchant.
It features period details including the original timber panelling, and is on the market for $2-$2.2 million.
Nelson Alexander Northcote agent Roland Paterson said Mr Neeland invested his own materials in the property.
“The high quality timber panels were made from a very unusual grain, and we believe the self-contained studio at the rear is original. I can’t imagine there are too many studios dating back that long,” Mr Paterson said.
“If somebody intends to do further work, there are really good period features to work with. The views are already impressive, but you would have phenomenal views of the Dandenongs if you extended at the back.
