It is believed that this grand centurion “Koo Wee” was first owned by the Myer family who originally occupied the home with their 9 children. Ripe for renovation or development, this character filled period residence is double fronted and sits on a parcel of 515sqm approx. of prime land with two street frontages. This heightens the possibilities of adding a second home to the property, or starting over and developing the land for your next multi townhouse or apartment project (STCA).
The existing home offers an abundance of character features; traditional timber fretwork, sweeping 11 foot ceilings that boast stunning hand painted and screen printed friezes, gilded cornices, timber panelling, ceiling roses, stained glass windows, high skirtings, timber floors and a total of 5 open fireplaces of various designs and sizes (there is also gas ducted heating throughout).
The traditional floorplan offers a long central hallway with 2 bedrooms on one side, and on the other a separate lounge, together with an additional dining room (or 3rd bedroom). A central bathroom completes this space. The back of the home with its timber lined cathedral ceilings, has a cosy kitchen with an Ilve 900mm freestanding oven and cooktop plus a SMEG dishwasher and a family room with an exposed brick fireplace creating a beautiful focal point for the room. The adjoining laundry is expansive, offering excellent built in cupboard space and a bright study nook.
The outdoor area has an abundance of red brick paving meeting to create a wonderful outdoor patio area for alfresco dining. There are established gardens and a lovely grassed space to enjoy. A lock up bungalow provides another flexible option as an extra bedroom, home office, studio space or a teenage retreat.
In a central location, you’ll love being located amongst quality amenities; walk to Murrumbeena station, Springthorpe Gardens, Riley Reserve, Boyd Park, quality schools and day to day shopping and a short drive to Chadstone shopping centre for fashion and entertainment.
