A property of enduring character and genuine historical significance, El-Rae is a distinctive Federation-era residence occupying approximately 403m² in the heart of West Melbourne.
Built in 1909, the home is an established part of the historic West Melbourne area. Its Federation Bungalow architecture is expressed through a double-fronted brick facade, traditional verandah, timber detailing, decorative chimneys and period proportions, features that give El-Rae its identity.
The residence comprises three bedrooms, one bathroom and is complemented with on-street parking permits for two cars. To the rear, a substantial private outdoor area which is secure and a secluded extension of the home, framed by established trees and abundant greenery. The garden offers a rare sense of space and privacy in such a central location, creating a peaceful setting for outdoor living, entertaining or simply enjoying the established surrounds.
El-Rae retains the qualities that made these homes distinctive, solid construction, generous proportions, high cellings and considered architectural detail. The substantial allotment also introduces an important element of future potential. The property may offer scope to renovate, or extend, STCA (Subject to Council Approval).
The location is equally compelling. Positioned close to Melbourne's CBD, Queen Victoria Market, Flagstaff Gardens and North Melbourne Station, the property provides immediate access to the city's employment, education, transport, dining and cultural precincts while retaining the established residential character of West Melbourne.
With a history extending back more than a century and a substantial inner-city landholding, El-Rae represents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of West Melbourne with both architectural character and future potential.
