Overview

A Leichhardt classic with an exciting future

Held by one family for half a century, 'Coraville' presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a turn-of-the-century classic in a connected Leichhardt setting. Facing north on a sunny 240sqm approx parcel, the 6.06m-fronted semi is freestanding to the east and opens to a deep grassed garden. Beyond its traditional facade, a dual-level layout retains its authentic period charm with 3m-high ceilings, original Kauri floorboards and a cast-iron fireplace. A large basement substantially increases the home's usable footprint and offers scope to develop, while the deep front setback presents potential for off-street parking in line with neighbouring homes (STCA). Available for the first time in half a century, this character-filled residence is ready for a contemporary transformation that capitalises on its sunny aspect, generous proportions and untapped potential. Just 450m to the Marion light rail with MarketPlace shops around the corner, the three-bedroom home combines urban convenience with superb lifestyle appeal. GreenWay links via Hawthorne Canal Park connect to the Bay Run, while Norton Street's vibrant dining, shopping and social scene is only 750m away. - An early 1900s classic, first time available in 50 years - North-east corner with a deep setback, 6.4m frontage - 3 double bedrooms on one level, classic 3m high ceilings - Sunny king-sized main with a fireplace and bay window - Bright and spacious living/dining, reverse air, gas heating - Skylit kitchen with stone benchtops and a tidy bathroom - Huge basement with laundry/utilities room and a cellar - Deep garden, room to extend/open out the rear (STCA) - Comfortable as is, live in or rent out during the DA process - Potential for off-street parking (STCA), 450m to the light rail - Superb walkability, footsteps to Leichhardt MarketPlace - Stroll to Norton Street's cafes, wine bars and gelaterias - Sold subject to existing tenancy, Expires 1 October 2026
