Overview

Freestanding Victorian with Approved Plans and Parkside Appeal

PERMIT APPROVED & SHOVEL READY this freestanding Victorian residence is set within the coveted Hawthorn West precinct, on a leafy period streetscape in a deep northern allotment of approximately 224sqm, with direct interfacing access to Smart Street Reserve parklands. The existing dwelling is rich in period detailing with soaring 3.3m ceilings and arched hallways. Two generously sized bedrooms are filled with natural light, as well as a centralised living room with heating, with both kitchen and bathroom having aspects towards the expansive rear garden overlooking the parklands. The permitted approved plans, boundary-to-boundary across two-levels, allows for an architecturally designed home to be constructed consisting of 4 large sized bedrooms, 3 generous bathrooms, two raised terraces (one overlooking the park), a huge kitchen and an expansive open plan living and dining area interfacing with a curated manicured garden designed by John Patrick Landscape. The master bedroom has been designed with a focus on relaxation to take in the park-views, including the large master ensuite with park-oriented bathtub and large walk-in-wardrobe. Adding further appeal, Smart Street Reserve is directly accessible from the rear, creating a wonderful extension of the home's outdoor setting. Enviably positioned within walking distance of Church Street trams and cafes, the Yarra River Trail and Hawthorn West Primary School, with Xavier College, Trinity Grammar School, Methodist Ladies' College, Ruyton Girls' School, Melbourne Girls' College and Glenferrie Road all within easy reach.
