Expressions of Interest Close Tuesday 18 August at 5pm.
Hidden behind a discreet garden frontage at the end of a peaceful, mews-style cul-de-sac, this freestanding AV Jennings residence occupies a substantial allotment with an impressive 18.2-metre (approx) frontage on Davies Street and rare additional street-frontages to Davies Street, Maisie Lane and Esplanade Place. Positioned just moments from Bay Street and the beach, the property presents an outstanding opportunity for families, investors, builders and developers alike, accompanied by a planning permit and drawings by award-winning architect Clare Cousins for an extraordinary five-bedroom home with a pool and garaging, it offers immediate enjoyment together with remarkable future potential (STCA).
Immaculately maintained and comfortable today, the home offers immediate enjoyment while providing remarkable scope for the future. Importantly, the property is not affected by a Heritage Overlay, opening the door to a range of possibilities for those looking to renovate, rebuild or further explore the site's potential (STCA).
A private gated garden entry leads to light-filled interiors, where slate floors extend through generous living spaces wrapped in large corner windows that capture the home's unique aspect and abundant natural light. The classic timber kitchen is exceptionally spacious, incorporating an open meals area and excellent storage, while the accommodation continues along a private rear hallway to three bedrooms, including the main bedroom with ensuite. A central bathroom with bath, separate WC and substantial laundry with external access complete a floorplan that has been meticulously maintained and remains immediately inviting.
A significant advantage of the site is its flexibility, with vehicle access available from both the existing crossover to Davies Street and the rear via Maisie Lane, a highly sought-after attribute that enhances future design and development options. Combined with the substantial 18.2-metre frontage, three street frontages and absence of a Heritage Overlay, the property's underlying landholding is as compelling as the home itself.
Whether moving straight in, retaining as a long-term investment, bringing the Clare Cousins vision to life or exploring alternative redevelopment outcomes (STCA), this is a rare opportunity to secure one of Port Melbourne's most versatile and tightly held landholdings. Moments from Bay Street's renowned cafes, restaurants and boutiques, the beachfront, city-bound light rail, local parks and leading schools, it is a property ready to reward both today's buyer and tomorrow's ambitions.
