With dual driveways, a sundrenched northerly rear, laneway to the side and a broad frontage of approx. 16.76m, this character-filled Victorian on a substantial 618sqm (approx.) is certain to tempt developers as much as it does serious renovators and family buyers.
Commanding attention from its position at the high end of Byron Street, the home – which has been owned by the same family since 1940 – opens to mostly original interiors where soaring 12ft (3.7m) ceilings and a glorious decorative hallway arch are among the standout period features.
For those looking for a renovation project to really sink their teeth into, the existing home features three bedrooms, a vast open plan lounge/dining room, sunroom, original eat-in kitchen and bathroom. There is also a rear laundry, ducted heating plus double garage and workshop with 3-phase power.
If bringing the home back to her former glory doesn't appeal, there are also options to take advantage of the allotment's desirable northerly aspect and design a new family showstopper – you may also choose to explore possibilities for a potential subdivision/dual occupancy development (STCA).
Boasting a prized northerly rear, the property is just footsteps to Ripponlea station, trams & bus stops on St Kilda Road, cafes and shops – it is also within easy reach of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens and the bay for endless leisure time enjoyment.
