Much of the historic residence remains in original condition, but the feature turning buyers’ heads is the private, trompe-l’oeil courtyard accessed via the kitchen. It’s adorned with a seemingly three-dimensional mural that Ambercromby’s Real Estate Armadale agent Emma Pierson said was painted by the vendors’ friend — an English painter who created the mural over the course of a month to replicate the scenic landscapes of Italy’s Lake Como resort area.“There’s also a couple of really pretty stained glass windows inside,” Ms Pierson said. “The internal has an Italianate feel about it.

Upstairs there’s three bedrooms, the main with an ensuite and balcony, as well as a bathroom and study.Sign up to the Herald Sun Weekly Real Estate Update. Click
