78 Strathalbyn Street
Kew East

Gracing a well-established, lush garden allotment spanning 837sqm approx. this classic brick Californian family home is surrounded by several mature trees and shrubs in its deep garden. The home features family warmth and styling typical of its era offering an excellent opportunity to renovate and extend out and/or up to provide living spaces in keeping with today’s family lifestyles. Or alternatively a magnificent site to redevelop with a luxurious new family residence with the addition of a pool. Or developers will grab this opportunity to demolish and build multiple contemporary townhouses; capitalising on potential capital gains in a sought-after area of Kew, currently undergoing extensive renewal (all works STCA).

The existing home features preserved period attributes including a bay window, lead light glass and decorative ceilings. With a wide entrance hall leading to a spacious sitting room, adjoining dining room and a modern central kitchen equipped with a Lofra S/S stove and adjacent laundry. Overlooking an informal family room and wisteria-clad deck with tree-top views across North Balwyn. Complemented by three zoned bedrooms, or two plus a study and two family bathrooms. Buyers should also note it presents in very good condition throughout and could be comfortably occupied or leased while a decision on its future is made. Other features include an alarm, ducted heating, gasLFPs (sitting and dining rooms) under house storage and off-street parking.

This property is ideally positioned in an ultra-convenient Kew East location. Just off High Street and minutes from Kew Junction or the Harp Village shops, cafes and restaurants, the ever popular Hays Paddock and numerous Yarra parkland walking & bike tracks for recreation. Also close to multiple public transport options and within easy access to an array of excellent schools, including Kew East Primary and Kew High zoning; or the CBD via the Eastern Freeway and tram services.
