16 Molesworth Street, Kew

Exclusively positioned in one of Kew’s most prestigious and tightly held enclaves, just moments from the Yarra River and Yarra Bend Park, this remarkable residence is a rare example of timeless mid-century architecture by the esteemed firm Chancellor & Patrick. Set on a significant landholding of approximately 1,649sqm with an impressive 34.5-metre frontage, it offers both immediate liveability and exciting potential to renovate or create a bespoke new luxury home in an exceptional setting (STCA). Thoughtfully designed and beautifully proportioned, the home’s original 1970s layout remains highly functional for contemporary family living. A light-filled entrance hall with an internal garden sets the tone for a warm and inviting interior, leading to elegant formal entertaining rooms and a spacious north-facing living area with open fireplace. The informal dining space adjoins a well-equipped kitchen, all opening seamlessly to the outdoors. Across a single level, three generous bedrooms are accompanied by a bright family bathroom and a master ensuite overlooking a private garden, while a mezzanine retreat and study provide flexible additional living and working spaces. A substantial west and north facing terrace offers the perfect setting for alfresco entertaining, overlooking the full-size tennis court area and swimming pool framed by mature gardens. The home also includes ducted heating, a large laundry, ample storage, and double garage with direct house access. Enjoying close proximity to Kew Junction’s boutique shopping and dining, scenic parklands and river trails, trams, the Eastern Freeway, and many of Melbourne’s leading private schools, this is a truly rare offering in one of the city’s most revered lifestyle locations.
