A cherished family home for many years, this substantial c1890's solid brick residence provides exciting scope to restore and revitalise, while its deep private allotment without heritage overlay suggests options to rebuild as a new luxury home or boutique development (STCA).

Evocative period features including leadlight windows, high ceilings and original Baltic Pine floors define the L-shaped entrance hall and light-filled living room with a fireplace. There are four double bedrooms accompanied by two bathrooms. The spacious dining room is served by a large well-appointed kitchen opening to the deep garden, a freestanding apartment with bathroom and a separate studio with kitchenette.

On the edge of prestigious Scotch Hill and just moments to Auburn Road shops and restaurants, trams to the city and Camberwell Junction and a range of schools, it includes a large laundry/sewing room, outdoor toilet, storeroom, garden shed and off-street parking. Land size: 729sqm approx.
