Le Montage, Lilyfield

Lilyfield 2040

Named for the lilies that grew in the area, or possibly a Mr Lily, one of the earliest landowners. The first grant was given to Luke Ralph in 1821 but remained largely undisturbed until manufacturing and light industry associated with the timber trade brought worker's into the area.

Lilyfield has an assortment of housing, marginally larger than the immediate
neighbourhood and some areas have larger blocks of land.

Many of the streets provide excellent views of the city skyline and are currently enjoying an influx of owners keen to restore and refurbish.

The Orange Grove public school has a regular Saturday morning fruit and vegetable market which attracts people from all over the Peninsula, as does the waterfront Aquatic swimming complex, and access to the Bay run.

The light rail system built in the 1990's has greatly improved transport to the area which suffered from the deep rift valley running down the middle of the suburb.

Other transport is provided by RTA buses.

Just an email to say thank you for all your help to secure this property, you were very upfront from the beginning about the condition of the property and we found this refreshing in comparison to other agents.

Thank you for keeping us up to date during the whole process and treating us as individuals rather than just another anonymous couple trying to purchase a property.

We appreciate all your help.

Having sought appraisals and advice from several agents, we chose Charles Millburn of "Harris Partners" for his ethical and honest approach and invaluable advice on the sale. Charles's excellent negotiating skills and the professional manner were paramount in achieving a great result, well above our expectations.
