An exceptionally rare and exciting opportunity to create something special in the city’s fashionable east end, just metres from the vibe of Hutt Street and wide open spaces of Victoria Park Racecourse, with approved plans for a stunning new two-storey residence.

The existing 1880′s bluestone home of five main rooms and two bathrooms has until recently, been tenanted at $460 per week and could be renovated, though not for the faint hearted. Notably, it is freestanding and has no Heritage listing.

With an 11.2m frontage to tranquil Tomsey Street and 34.1m to Tomsey Court laneway, which feeds into Wilson Street on the northern side, the 381m2 corner site is position perfect and further benefits from being next door to a sexy new high-quality build.

Council has indicated that there is also adequate plot ratio for two semi-detached dwellings STCC. So almost anything is possible here.

Proskebrown Architects have designed a stunning contemporary town home that encapsulates the way we love to live today, with a total living area of 345m2 incorporating an auto double garage.

Two north-facing terraces, one on each level, extend open-plan living spaces to offer a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle of entertaining and relaxation.

A deluxe master bedroom suite and office are at ground floor level, offering the option of single-level living for couples, while a second master bedroom suite, third double bedroom and bathroom on the upper level provide apartment-style accommodation for other family members and guests.

Design, materials and finishes follow a sleek modern aesthetic with a focus on easy-care luxury, privacy and peace of mind.

Whichever way you decide to go, you’ll never regret your decision to invest in this highly-prized lifestyle location where opportunities like this are now very limited. We wish we had more like this!
