Positioned in one of Sandy Bay's most tightly held and highly regarded streets, 57 Lord Street presents an increasingly rare opportunity to transform a substantial period home on approximately 780m² of near-level land.
Surrounded by quality executive residences, this classic Californian bungalow offers the scale, character and underlying attributes to become an exceptional family home following an extensive renovation.
The existing residence retains many of the features buyers seek in homes of this era, including high ceilings, solid brick construction, strong street presence and a desirable northern aspect. From the front deck, elevated views extend across the suburb toward kunanyi / Mount Wellington, adding to the home's considerable appeal.
While the property now requires a comprehensive renovation, the opportunity is significant. With a considered architectural approach, there is scope to restore the original character while introducing contemporary open-plan living, modern kitchen and bathroom spaces, improved indoor-outdoor connection and landscaped entertaining areas.
The generous allotment and good access to the rear provide further flexibility. Subject to council approval, purchasers may also explore the potential to retain and renovate the existing home while developing the rear of the property, or consider a broader redevelopment of the site.
In a location where large parcels of land are increasingly difficult to secure, 57 Lord Street offers the opportunity to create a substantial, high-quality residence tailored to modern living while capitalising on one of Sandy Bay's most desirable addresses.
