Unique potential on the city’s edge

Brimming with natural light and offering abundant scope for enhancement (STCA), this original semi-detached Edwardian home presents a rare renovation opportunity in a coveted city-edge location just moments from cosmopolitan Lygon Street, city trams and Rathdowne Village.

With the advantage of a sizable private courtyard and large rooms characteristic of the design era, it currently features a flexible floor plan with two generous bedrooms, separate living and dining spaces, ornate fireplace with timber mantle, a rear kitchen and a roomy bathroom with laundry and external access. This is a rare blank canvas and is certain to appeal to those with an eye for potential, a desire to enjoy the convenience of single-level inner-city living, and a new vision for this remarkable home.

Just a short stroll to Princes Park, Princes Hill Primary School and within easy reach of the University of Melbourne and the CBD, this is a brilliant foundation for the future in an unbeatable position. With the enticing opportunity to apply a modern aesthetic, it’s ready for a brand new chapter in its history to be written.
