Rich in the splendour of its Edwardian origins yet yearning for fresh inspiration, this once-charming family home is now packed with possibilities for an exciting future. Perfectly located for an idyllic family lifestyle, the home is fringed by Kew Junction’s cosy cafés and renowned restaurants, boutique shopping, and city-bound trams, while footsteps from Kew Recreation Centre and Victoria Park, and surrounded by Melbourne’s best public and private schools. Enveloped by high 10-foot ceilings and gleaming Baltic floors, the home reminisces its glory days with a scattering of cast-iron fireplaces, fretwork detailing, and leadlight accents. The generous layout offers easy flexibility, providing a north-facing lounge room with open fireplace and an adjacent home office, a casual family room featuring an original wood stove for slow-combustion heating, and a bright meals room with window seats for sunny relaxation. The kitchen is centrally placed for easy catering, offering a full array of appliances amid lengthy timber benches and copious storage. Brick paving meanders through the enchanting fernery gardens, providing a lush setting for alfresco entertaining or secluded enjoyment, complemented by a large workshop for the hobbyist or artist, plus a handy garden shed. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, including an ensuite to the main bedroom, is finished with a European laundry and off-street parking, delivering an enticing opportunity for a lavish renovation to restore its original charm in a modern setting. Occupying a substantial 549m2 (approx.) allotment, this unencumbered site is zoned as General Residential 1 with no planning overlays, inspiring extravagant designs for a luxurious new home or townhouse development (subject to council approval) in a coveted family locale.
