On the sunny side of a highly prized street just metres to the bay, this c1915 freestanding home is presented in untouched condition offering an incredibly rare and exciting opportunity for a glorious renovation (STCA). Nestled amongst the trees that grace coveted Page Street, on 245sqm (approx.) with a preferred northerly rear, the home is irresistibly handsome from the street, its frontage alive with character that could be sympathetically rejuvenated to create a simply stunning first impression.
Coloured leadlight windows, a bullnose verandah and soaring ceilings are amongst the highlights of this true blank canvas, which opens to reveal a central hallway with ornate plasterwork and decorative archway. Three bedrooms lead from here, including two with fireplaces that while currently blocked could be reinstated. A lounge with gas heater is also in the front part of the home, while a meals/family area and kitchen plus a bathroom and separate WC are in a rear extension that was added some years ago. Laneway access with roller door gives the option of on-site parking out in the sundrenched yard where there is a garage/shed.
This is your chance to create a modern masterpiece with a heritage soul working with the classic foundations and bringing today's comforts and luxury finishes that suit your style - perhaps consider extending back or up (STCA). And the investment and hard work will be richly rewarded thanks to the calibre of the location. Merely 400m (approx.) to the beachfront and 300m (approx.) to Victoria Avenue's cafes and shops, this potential-rich opportunity home is also close to tram stops, Albert Park College, MSAC and the lake.
