Offered for the first time since 1987, this captivating Victorian residence combines the romance of its period origins with the opportunity to shape its next chapter in one of Prahran's most tightly held streets. Behind its distinctive brick façade, soaring ceilings, original fireplaces, timber floors and beautifully preserved architectural detail create a home of immediate warmth and substance, while offering exciting scope for future enhancement.
A traditional arched hallway and original timber staircase introduce interiors that reveal their character gradually, unfolding through a series of generously proportioned spaces filled with natural light. The north facing living room with views across the front garden is particularly impressive, framed by oversized windows, exceptional ceiling heights and timber flooring.
The flexible floorplan currently accommodates three bedrooms, including an exceptionally large ground floor bedroom and a substantial upstairs bedroom that enjoys its own sense of separation. A second ground floor bedroom opens directly to the rear garden, creating versatility for guests, working from home or changing family needs.
To the rear, an expansive dining room forms the social heart of the home and opening to a private rear garden with a carport behind double gates. Adjoining it, the kitchen is entirely functional as it stands while presenting a clear canvas for a contemporary renovation when the time is right. Generous dimensions provide ample room to reimagine the space, creating a future kitchen and living environment tailored to modern family life.
The bathroom retains a distinctive retro personality, while a ground floor powder room, under stair storage and split system heating and air conditioning complete the home.
Comfortable, engaging and filled with personality today, the home also presents a rare opportunity to further modernise and add value over time. Thought to be tied to Prahran's history through the first Prahran Church this is a unique opportunity to transform a piece of Prahran. Whether the vision is a sensitive restoration, a contemporary architectural transformation or simply enjoying the home exactly as it is, the foundations are already exceptional.
Positioned within one of Prahran's most desirable residential pockets, this address places Chapel Street, Greville Street, Prahran Market, Toorak Road's boutiques, Fawkner Park, cafes, wine bars and restaurants all within walking distance. Prahran Railway Stations and city bound trams cater to every transportation need, while the quiet neighbourhood setting feels remarkably removed from the energy surrounding it.
