The layout is flexible rather than fixed. Ten bedrooms and four bathrooms span the ground and first floors, with three kitchens, several living areas, two sunrooms, an office, and storerooms throughout. The configuration suits extended family living, guest accommodation, consulting suites, or an investment hold with the ability to generate multiple income streams.
The facade remains intact, and the home retains the architectural cues of its era within an enclave known for interwar character. The grounds offer wide frontage, depth to the rear and off-street parking for four vehicles, with a separate basement adding further storage or workshop potential. There's scope for restoration, reconfiguration or something more ambitious (subject to council approval).
This is one of the inner-city's genuinely complete neighbourhoods. Cafs, bakeries, gyms, personal services and independent retail are at the doorstep, alongside the food culture, weekend energy and creative pulse the area has long been known for. Balaclava Station and tram routes put the CBD within easy reach, while the St Kilda Botanic Gardens, Alma Park and a strong selection of leading independent schools complete a location with little left to want for.
The investment case stacks up on three fronts: 615sqm (approx) of land in a pocket that rarely turns over, an income-ready set-up, and clear value-add upside.
