Presenting a rich and rewarding opportunity on an impressive 697 square metre (approx.) allotment, this generously scaled, three bedroom period residence is situated in a blue ribbon street within easy reach of some of Melbourne's most elite private schools. Character-filled and comfortably presented for living or leasing today, the home allows you to ponder the full spectrum of possibilities, spanning from the revival of a classic to the rebuilding of your dream home or even preparing the site for redevelopment (STCA). Providing a strong foundation for the future, the existing layout presents a vast, fireplace-warmed, open-plan kitchen/dining/living, as well as a separate lounge that is also arranged around a fireplace. Meanwhile, the bedrooms are each generously scaled and two have been appointed with built-in robes, whilst a contemporary bathroom is separate to wc, plus there is a laundry, a bungalow/studio and a garage with driveway parking for several vehicles. A quick look at this exclusive street's perfectly preserved period homes and contemporary architectural masterpieces reveals the esteem with which the area is held, just moments from city-bound trams along High Street, buses along Kilby Road, excellent cafes, supermarkets, Harp Village and Kew Junction, whilst zoning for Kew High School is an important bonus and the pristine natural beauty of Hays Paddock is just around the corner.
