Around 1917 to 1919, successful businessman George William Pinfold reportedly built the stately home known as Kooyong at 50 Dumaresq Street in Hamilton East.
The three-bedroom red brick residence is positioned on a large parcel of land some 1416 square metres in size and has an in-ground pool.
Robinson Property's Mike Flook is marketing the property. A guide has not been disclosed but the Newcastle Herald believes expectations are over $2.6 million.
"It's a trophy home," Mr Flook said. "Not only is it set on over 1400 square metres, it's a classic Federation and someone could come in and work in with those period features to create arguably what would be one of that area's finest homes."
It is open Saturday at 3.30pm and set for auction on May 22.
