Set behind a tall fence and framed by mature fruit trees, this cherished family home - kept in the same hands for over fifty years - offers an extraordinary opportunity in a desirable and peaceful pocket. On an allotment of 811 sqm approx. with rear laneway access, the property invites fresh vision, outstanding possibilities, and transformation.The existing four bedroom residence, imbued with a quiet sense of history, retains touches of its original charm, featuring high ceilings adorned with intricate ceiling roses and a warm, lived-in character that hints at decades of family life. A functional kitchen overlooks the meals area, while the expansive north-facing living and dining zone glows with sunlight. While time has taken its sheen away, the home offers a compelling canvas - ready to be lovingly restored, reimagined, or replaced entirely (subject to Council approval).A grand-scale family sanctuary could take shape here, embracing the generous proportions, orientation, and charm of this tree-lined street. The setting welcomes architectural expression, with the space and serenity to create something truly special.For those with an eye to development, the potential is equally compelling. The substantial block and rear laneway access offer an exceptional platform for a boutique dual-occupancy or townhouse project - designed to meet ongoing demand for refined, low-maintenance living in a location favoured by discerning buyers. The combination of scale, access, and street appeal - alongside proximity to shopping, parks, schools, and transport - delivers a rare alignment of creative and commercial opportunity.In a peaceful, family-oriented neighbourhood, moments from Thomas Street Reserve, bus services, Hampton Bowls Club, excellent schools including St Leonard's & Haileybury College, and Hampton Street’s vibrant cafes, shops, restaurants and train station, this is a location where community and convenience go hand in hand.For more information about this exciting proposition contact Richard Slade or Nickole Smirnov at Buxton Sandringham.
