9 Margaret Street
Canterbury

A home that invites inspiration and is destined to reward your vision, ‘Hazeldean’ c1880, is a character-rich, free-standing, double-fronted, double brick Victorian residence, set on a wonderful, elevated, 707 square metres (approx.) allotment, in an exclusive streetscape that is just moments from all the refinement of Maling Road’s café scene.

Steeped in tradition, with strong bones and much of its original character firmly intact, this is an outstanding opportunity for those looking to renovate or extend a classical slice of Canterbury’s rich heritage (STCA). Set behind a tessellated tiled veranda, with traditional fretwork and leadlight windows proudly on display, the home opens to reveal a broad arched hallway set under soaring ceilings. Currently comprising four impressively scaled bedrooms – each with marble fireplaces – the home flows to a traditional dining room – also with fireplace – as well as a largely original kitchen with views and a living room. The possibilities here are endless in this home with a central bathroom, a laundry, under house storage and scope to create a truly landmark family residence.

Surrounded by countless examples of perfectly renovated period homes, this is a location worthy of investment in the zone for both Camberwell High School and Canterbury Girls Secondary College, just moments from Canterbury Gardens and Canterbury Railway Station for easy access to the CBD and to a diversity of Melbourne’s most elite private schools.
