Built in 1896, loved for decades: Taroona House for sale

No.17 Taroona Crs, Taroona. Picture: Supplied Gracious and gorgeous, a visit to Taroona House is a memorable experience. Built in 1896, the substantial four-bedroom property has been John and Kathryn’s home for 20 years. And they are not the only owners to hold onto it for decades. Kathryn mentioned that previous owners, the Walch family, held it for 50 years. “I remember being blown away by it when we first came to see it,” she said. “It was love at first sight.” Established when the surrounding landscape was characterised by farms, orchards, gardens and grazing land, the home stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while also adapting with ease for modern living. Unlike some older homes, Taroona House is full of light, Kathryn said. “One of the things we love about it is the garden. It is a home where there is a beautiful garden view from every window,” she said.
