Belltunga, 132 Grant Avenue, TOORAK GARDENS is a lovely 100-year-old home recently extensively renovated with a professionally designed garden.
A landmark three-metre-high cypress hedge, mature trees, and over half an acre of grounds surround Belltunga, a grand bungalow built in 1925 and celebrating its centenary this year. The home has recently been extensively renovated and the garden revamped with a modern and timeless design, yet in keeping with the traditional architecture of the residence.
The new layout retained many existing shrubs and trees, including a pair of very tall palms and an outstanding frangipani. Over the years, the extensive lawns have hosted many gatherings and garden parties, but now there is also a swimming pool and a sunken entertainment area with an impressive outdoor kitchen.
Size: 2600 sqm.
Charity: Clown Doctors, Women and Children’s hospital.
Extra Activities: Morning and afternoon teas. Sausage sizzle. The garden designer and maintenance crew will answer questions.
