Last Listing description (July 2022)

PRICED TO SELL.

Superbly situated at the northern end of Swanston Street, directly opposite Melbourne University, stands this historic bluestone home offering an amazing opportunity, in more ways than one.

Obviously moments from the Uni, it also is a short walk from public transport, acres of fabulous parkland at Princes Park and the cosmopolitan delights of Lygon Street. The location is simply brilliant.

This double fronted home offers an incredible opportunity to renovate it to a sizeable home being set on approximately 194sqm of land with the advantage of laneway access to the northern boundary.

Alternatively, given its two addresses, it offers the opportunity, subject to council approval, to subdivide it into two dwellings.

Positioned in a highly sought after location, this is one of the most unique opportunities to be offered to the market in some time.

Ideally suited to buyers looking for a home with enormous potential or developers and builders seeking a boutique development opportunity.
