Positioned on a remarkable 761sqm with prized northern rear, this majestic Victorian home and its extraordinary parcel provide what is without question, one of the prestigious Hawthorn West precinct's most exciting family opportunities. Situated in wide tree-lined Lennox Street, one of the area's most tightly held addresses, its impressive character proportions, whilst immediately comfortable, present exceptional scope for a renovation/extension (STCA) that creates a state-of-the-art contemporary family home just meters from local landmark St James Park, the Yarra River, highly sought after Hawthorn West Primary, esteemed Melbourne Girls College, trams, trains and West Hawthorn shopping, dining and bars.
Wrapped in a beautifully broad return verandah, four original rooms adopt a traditional double-fronted layout with a central arched hallway, each showcasing their generous proportions under soaring rosette ceilings with two retaining their original open fireplaces. At the rear, easy modern day functionality is provided by an extension with a giant, fully equipped family kitchen, adjoining living and dining areas with woodstove, an immaculate bathroom with separate WC, and super-sized laundry. Outside, a breakfast terrace overlooks the sun-filled northern rear garden featuring an undercover entertaining domain with sink and handcrafted pizza oven, separate single bedroom apartment and oversized tandem garage converted to games room or storage/workshop with basic kitchen and shower room. Accommodation includes three bedrooms, built in robes in one of the bedrooms, two living rooms, original timber floors and doors, abundant natural light and gated off-street parking.
Walk to local cafes including renowned Barton Milk Bar with minutes to elite private schools, Glenferrie, Kew and Richmond retail and dining, Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre and the CBD.
