8 Lingwell Rd, Hawthorn East is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1890. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2025.
Located in a prized pocket of Hawthorn East where the majority of homes proudly retain their Victorian heritage (but without any heritage overlay) this double fronted Victorian has definitely seen better days but now stands ripe and ready for an extensive renovation to give it a new lease of life. Set on a 340sqm block with 10.2 metre frontage the property features a dual entrance ROW at the rear allowing easy access during construction and garaging on completion.
Buyers wanting to see what can be achieved need look no further than next door at number 10 which shared an identical double fronted facade prior to renovation. In fact there are any number of properties in the immediate Lingwell Road area which have benefitted from the type of transformation that is possible here. And for those not wanting to renovate there is also the option developing the property with a new home (STCA).
The cul-de-sac location is within walking distance of Auburn Road shops and cafes, Auburn Station, Auburn Primary School and Swinburne University. Also close by are the sporting clubs at Victoria Road and Rathmines Road Reserves, the parkland and playground at William Angliss Reserve while the excellent variety of shops, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and cinemas in either Hawthorn or Camberwell are only a couple of minutes away by car.
