Kilburn Mansion, Reimagined

Some addresses are coveted. Some residences are extraordinary. And then, there is Kilburn Mansion.

Occupying one of East Melbourne’s most storied corners, this landmark 1878 mansion is being carefully restored and reimagined as just nine exceptional residences by Abadeen, with design by Studio Kennon.

Heritage architecture is seamlessly paired with contemporary living, with original façades, ornate period detailing and soaring ceilings complemented by sophisticated interiors featuring natural stone, warm timber and considered craftsmanship throughout.

Each residence has been individually designed with its own unique floor plan and a genuine sense of scale, offering generous living spaces, beautifully proportioned rooms and a level of privacy more commonly associated with a substantial home than an apartment. Select residences feature dramatic soaring Victorian ceilings or vaulted ceilings of up to 4.5 metres, while private courtyards, terraces and gardens create a strong connection between the interiors and the surrounding landscape.

The overall design is further enhanced by landscape design from renowned horticulturist Teena Crawford, while the heritage conservation has been carefully overseen by Lovell Chen, ensuring the character, craftsmanship and architectural significance of Kilburn Mansion are preserved for generations to come.

At the pinnacle of the development is an extraordinary penthouse spanning approximately 843sqm internally across two levels. Offering panoramic views across the MCG, city skyline and surrounding treetops, it also includes a private rooftop garden, expansive wraparound terraces and an impressive five-car garage.

Positioned moments from the CBD, MCG and Fitzroy Gardens, Kilburn Mansion presents a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of East Melbourne history, thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary life.

A landmark restored. Nine exceptional residences. A new chapter for Kilburn Mansion.
