Overview

Extraordinary junction edge potential

An unparalleled prospect footsteps from Kew Junction. This stately seven-room Hawthorn brick Victorian, complete with a self-contained rear residence and rear laneway parking access, sits on an enviable ~695sqm with an east-facing rear aspect, in Kew's desirable Housing Choice and Transport Zone Schedule 1. Offered for the first time in over half a century, this generational opportunity presents three paths forward: 1) restore and renovate the Victorian villa, with flexible use of the rear unit, 2) rebuild a showpiece of contemporary design, or 3) redevelop to maximise the favourable zoning (STCA). Awaiting a full transformation, the double-fronted Victorian retains genuine period character: bluestone foundations, ~3.7m ceilings, detailed cornices, high skirting boards, marble fireplaces, a graceful bay window and an arched hallway with six of the seven principal rooms well worth restoring. The modern rear residence offers an ideal base while you renovate the front home, plus the long-term potential of an unfinished basement. Rare rear laneway access from Peel Street, with secure lock-up garaging, provides valuable independent vehicle access and off-street parking a highly desirable amenity with added flexibility for future renovation or redevelopment. High Street's shopping, dining and amenities are only a leisurely stroll away, while the 109 tram provides easy access to Melbourne CBD. The property sits around the corner from Kew Primary and within walking distance of some of Melbourne's finest schools, including Xavier College and Trinity Grammar, with a host of elite schools nearby.
