Last Listing description (March 2022)
If Adam's garden was in South Yarra, it would undoubtedly be the Botanical Gardens, an oasis surrounded by inarguably the best streets in Melbourne. You now have the rare opportunity to secure a piece of Adams Street itself, one of the wider and most highly sought after of those streets; a chance that could take generations to arrive again.
42B Adams Street offers so much, starting with the 216sqm (approx.) of 'AAA' grade land, widening at the rear to offer great scope for outdoor living. The convenient driveway and parking space off Adams Street is fantastic, as would be a garage for those looking to add immediate value (STCA). Sure, the home itself is more of a blank canvas than an unfinished masterpiece, but the chances to find properties like this and make your own mark are becoming rarer and rarer. And remember - Da Vinci never finished many of his best works. The grand dimensions and simple floorplan provides a perfect starting point if you are to work within the existing bones, while starting 'a fresh may be just as rewarding.
Those more creatively minded looking to add more value may have their eyes wandering up and down the street, investigating what may be possible subject to council approval (it may even involve more than one acquisition). Whether combining, dividing, a passive investment or occupying is your plan - properties like this are bulletproof whatever your plans.
Speaking of the location, for those that aren't locals the property is positioned in the heart of the Domain precinct between Fawkner Park and the Botanic Gardens. Both Albert Park Lake and the River are within walking distance, as is boutique shopping and dining on Toorak Road, coveted schools (like Melbourne Grammar just at the end of the street) and transport nearby, this blue chip location of enduring appeal offers vibrant lifestyle advantages.
What is for sure is that Melbourne is one of the Worlds most liveable cities, the Domain Precinct is one of the Melbourne's best locations and Adams Street is one of the domains finest streets. It, therefore, wouldn't be a stretch to say that this is a chance to buy into one of the best locations on the planet. Forgive these Real Estate Agents if they sound hyperbolic, but we are just so excited to give you the chance to buy this incredible property.
