Planning Permit PP23/0039 approves the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of a new single dwelling and front fence a demolition approval granted within a Heritage Overlay, and not something that can be assumed on a fresh application. The endorsed plans are by respected architect Coy Yiontis, with a long record in fine residential design and sensitive work within period streetscapes, for a luxurious six-bedroom contemporary residence on this 1,022sqm approx. allotment with a northern rear aspect.
A Council-approved extension of time carries the permit through to 30th April 2028 for commencement and 30th April 2030 for completion - a generous runway to appoint a builder, tender the works and arrange finance on your own timetable, with the planning process, the objection risk and the holding costs already behind you.
Equally, there is no obligation to build. The site is occupied by a classic c1920 period family home that is genuinely ready to live in, so it can be occupied or leased while you consider its future. Across two levels it offers a sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen, informal living and dining, a family bathroom and a laundry/bathroom, alongside four zoned bedrooms - two in a split-level rear extension with study, plus an upper-level bedroom/retreat.
For those who would rather evolve the home than replace it, the land area leaves generous scope to update and extend, with room for a pool if desired (STCA). A rear storeroom lends itself to a workshop, studio or home office. Further features include alarm, ducted heating and cooling, rainwater tank, carport and off-street parking.
The setting is the quiet advantage: a tree-lined street of quality homes, walking distance to the Kew Junction shopping precinct with its cafés, restaurants and renowned retail, and the Kew Recreation Centre. Melbourne's finest private and public schools are minutes away, as are the 48 and 109 trams to the CBD and sporting stadiums, the Eastern Freeway, and the Yarra River parklands and trails.
Build, live, or extend - three genuine futures on one rare Kew landholding.
