30 Ridgeway Avenue
Kew

Originally a timber Edwardian, this family home was modernised in the late 1950s with a brick façade, situated on a generous allotment of 859sqm approx. in an outstanding location in the heart of Kew. Offering the new owners a range of options to consider combined with the undeniable future capital gains available with the options. Either demolish the home for the construction of a luxurious new family residence or multiple townhouses, or undertake a front-to-back renovation, updating and reconfiguring the home, adding a pool if desired - creating a superb family home geared to today’s contemporary lifestyle (STCA). At the same time capitalising on this blue-chip location.

The current family home is surrounded by mature gardens and is in very good order throughout. Featuring some subtle Art Deco period attributes including a rare octagonal entrance hall; leading to a flexible floorplan with three bedrooms, a sitting room or fourth bedroom, a central bathroom, kitchen equipped with all white appliances including a Bosch dishwasher and Westinghouse stove, dining and a separate north-east facing living room, powder room and a laundry with a separate shower. Opening to a deep rear garden. Other features include new ducted heating, overhead fan (kitchen), R/C air conditioner (dining), rainwater tank and an original remote double garage/storage. Buyers should note the home could be comfortably occupied or leased while a decision on its future is made.

This exceptional opportunity is underpinned by a sought-after location between High Street and Cotham Road in the heart of Kew, moments from Kew Junction, including the popular Leo’s Fine Foods and Toscanos; or Glenferrie Road shopping and dining precincts. Within walking distance of several of Melbourne’s finest schools, the forthcoming Kew Recreation Centre and parklands; while its proximity to public transport options or the Eastern Freeway provides easy CBD or Mornington Peninsula access and reinforces its convenient family lifestyle credentials.
