Sold30 Sercombe Grove, Hawthorn
Distinctive Victorian, Loaded with Potential
It is not often a true opportunity like this comes along. It is even more desirable when the facade of this single-fronted Victorian cottage stands out in a period streetscape due to its rare bay front window styling with a wrap around bull-nose iron lacework verandah. Further enhanced by a chic Hawthorn lifestyle location, where a convenience will become a way of life - just a few moments' walk from the vibrant Glenferrie Road boutiques, cafes, new cinema and restaurants, public transport options, the Recreation Centre or Swinburne University; plus Central Gardens and a choice of some of Melbourne's finest schools all within easy reach.
The interior largely untouched by today's expectations offers a sought-after restoration and updating opportunity, which renovators will want to grab with open arms, transforming this home into a contemporary masterpiece by extending out and up to create new living spaces (STCA). The current floorplan features an L-shaped arched hallway opening to two bedrooms and full-width living room plus a modern kitchen and rear bathroom leading to a large brick paved courtyard accessed through a remote roller door from the rear lane. Buyers should note this home can be readily occupied or leased on a short term basis whist the designs for the future renovations are decided upon. Other features include ceiling roses, OFPs and R/C air conditioner.
