13 McGregor Street, Canterbury

Gracing a wide, quiet, tree-lined street, this stunning Edwardian home is poised to be spectacularly transformed into a light-filled, picture-perfect family gem (STCA) in this highly-coveted location close to Maling Road, Canterbury Station and a range of elite schools. In near original condition, this home, which has been in the same family for nearly 50 years, occupies a superb allotment with the preferred northern rear aspect. Beyond its distinctive fretwork-trimmed faade it has two bedrooms, living and dining rooms, compact kitchen and bathroom and a sunroom opening to the large leafy north-facing back garden. Beautifully proportions rooms off the central hallway feature high ceilings, ceiling roses, coloured glass windows and fireplaces with timber mantlepieces. A "diamond in the rough", it radiates innate charm while remaining as one of the last homes awaiting renovation in this picturesque streetscape of near-perfect Edwardians. Zoned to Canterbury Primary School and Camberwell High, from this family-friendly locale it is an easy walk through leafy street to St Paul's Kindergarten, Siena College, Strathcona, Maling Road, Canterbury Station, Middle Camberwell and the train or tram to Camberwell Junction and Kew's private schools C
