Statement of Significance
It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) as a highly picturesque and substantial villa in the Queen Anne mode as it was adapted in Australia during the Post Federation period.
Whilst the treatment of the diagonal axis with its attendant window bays and gable ended wings are highly representative of this development, the pillared verandah with its ornamental cast cement balustrade panels is unusual and imparts distinction to this place. It compares with houses in the Elsternwick Heritage Overlay Area as well as the slightly earlier villa at 31 Downshire Road (1911-12).

1027 Glen Huntly Road - Physical Description 1
A picturesque Post Federation villa with diagonal axis reinforced by a curved window bay and corner verandah terminated by projecting gable ended wings in the manner of the period. The multiple gabled roof is slate lined with terra cotta ridge cresting and there are tapered rough cast chimneys with flat caps and terra cotta pots in the Arts and Crafts mode. The projecting gable ends are half timbered and surmount curved bay windows. Emphasis is given to the entry by a prominent gable ended section of the verandah which is carried on pre-cast concrete fluted columns. The balustrade to the verandah has unusual cast cement decorative panels based on a bifurcating volute motif
