Ideally situated between parkland and Chapel Street, nostalgia runs deep in this timeless double-storey residence that extending from a classical-columned façade and terrazzo entry to a fruit-tree garden, opportunity is evident all around on a north-facing rear, No Heritage Overlay, GRZ1-zoned allotment. High wall frontage with ample parking reveal the magnitude of a magnificent opening where a family can live comfortably while considering options for a rewarding future on 431 sqms approx. with a 12m frontage.
Old world charm resonates throughout a meticulously-maintained interior where a welcoming foyer branches out to a front bedroom, a family living and dining room and an adjoining retro kitchen connecting directly to a rear alfresco terrace and garden. An additional bedroom plus a powder room and a separate laundry/bathroom complete the ground-floor layout, while situated upstairs is another living area, a second kitchen, two further bedrooms and the main family bathroom.
A first-floor terrazzo terrace and a full-width rear balcony with an aspect toward the city skyline enhance the rare potential to render and renovate this solidly-constructed home, build a beautiful new luxury residence or explore the possibilities for townhouse redevelopment (STCA). The future here is as compelling as the present, offering flexibility to reimagine the site in line with evolving lifestyle trends or investment ambitions.
With Chris Gahan Reserve and Chapel Street at each end of a quiet street, this original mission-brown brick home offered for the very first time in 60 years, presents an unrivalled opportunity just a short stroll to endless cafes, restaurants, wine bars and boutiques, Windsor train station, trams, Prahran Market, a selection of schools including St Michael's Grammar, Albert Park Lake and St Kilda Beach.
