10 May Street
Kew

This elevated, freestanding Victorian cottage (c.1890) is as pretty as a picture, set within a quiet, period streetscape in May Street — one of Kew’s most charming streets lined with Silver Birch trees. Perfectly positioned in a sought-after pocket of Kew, in the heart of the private school precinct, this residence offers an enviable lifestyle opportunity for young professionals, growing families, or downsizers seeking comfort, convenience, and long-term capital growth.

Behind a classic picket fence and a leafy front garden bordered by standard roses, the home presents a picture-perfect welcome. Recently refurbished and move-in ready, it showcases a fresh white interior, polished floors, and a seamless blend of period charm and modern style. A long hallway leads to three generous double bedrooms, each with built-in robes, a sparkling bathroom, and a separate laundry. The heart of the home features a stylishly updated kitchen with granite benchtops and European stainless-steel appliances, flowing effortlessly into a spacious open-plan living and dining area. Bathed in natural light from north-facing windows and French doors, this inviting space opens to a private, brick-paved courtyard set within a lush, hedge-lined garden—ideal for relaxed indoor/outdoor entertaining. Additional features include ducted heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning (bedrooms and family living), OFPs, recent refurbishing including new carpets, fresh paint, sanded/polished Baltic pine and glossy brush box floors, landscaped gardens. Also tandem off-street parking for two vehicles.

Enjoy a lifestyle of unparalleled convenience, surrounded by Melbourne’s elite schools and just moments from Kew Junction, Glenferrie Road’s vibrant shops, restaurants, cafes, and the Lido Cinema. A moment’s walk to Kellett Reserve and with easy access to the Hawthorn and upcoming Kew Recreation Centres and excellent public transport, this is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully restored period home in one of Kew’s most desirable locations.
