Last Listing description (May 2024)

As one of the last remaining operating milk bars/general stores around, it's now your turn to stamp your imprint on a property that's serviced this charming and sought-after West Footscray neighbourhood for more than 80 years.
There is a plethora of options available including continuing the business on a month-to-month tenancy, converting it to an alternative commercial use such as a cafe - latte anyone? - or unlocking the hidden potential and building your unique and ideal home (STCA).
With no heritage overlay constrictions, development opportunities also await.

The property comprises a good-sized shop, a five-room dwelling and approximately
350m2 of land. It is further enhanced by its corner location, with two street frontages on Palmerston Street plus excellent access from Alma Street.
This property last sold in 1974 when living in a milk bar was every kid's dream. Now is the time to take this much-loved treasure of Australian suburban history and to make this opportunity yours.
