“Amesbury House” is one of South Yarra’s most famous residences, built in the 1920s as a city base for businessman and army officer, Major General Harold William Grimwade. Almost a century on, and with contemporary amenities, it still commands attention, retaining all the charm that made it a “go to” city residence for wealthy Victorians.

Walk to Domain Road Village shops and cafes, Fawkner Park, South Yarra retail and lifestyle precincts, the MCG and Tennis Centre or take a tram to St Kilda Road, the Arts Centre and the CBD.
