Overview

Extraordinary Opportunity – No Owners Corp Fees – Circa 1860’s

This exceptional townhouse, dating back to the circa 1860s, presents a rare opportunity on the fringe of cosmopolitan Melbourne. The property boasts a quaint heritage façade that adds unique character and charm, setting it apart from typical residences.

One of the standout features of this freestanding property is the absence of Owners Corporation fees, offering greater autonomy and potential cost savings for the owner. Inside, the home features incredibly lofty ceilings that enhance the sense of space and openness, providing a versatile canvas for customization and renovation.

The original brickwork, a testament to the building's heritage, could be exposed to create a striking aesthetic if desired. The property offers endless possibilities thanks to its flexible zoning under the Capital City Zone, which permits both commercial and residential uses. Currently configured as a two-level dwelling, there is potential to add further levels subject to council approval (STCA).

This property is ideal for renovators, builders, architects, and developers seeking a project with great bones and significant upside. Whether you choose to refurbish and occupy or undertake a complete gut and rebuild, the opportunity is substantial.

Perfect as a Melbourne pied-a-terre, the townhouse also suits those looking for a great office space or a live/work arrangement. For convenience, car parks can be leased or purchased nearby if required.

Situated beautifully to enjoy the vibrant city lifestyle, the location also offers easy access to leave the city when needed. The land size is approximately 87 square meters, with the current building area around 141 square meters, providing a comfortable footprint for urban living.

Additionally, the property falls under the Warehouse, Heritage & Unique (WHU) category, highlighting its distinctive qualities and heritage significance within Melbourne’s inner city.

Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own investigations and seek independent professional legal advice to verify all details and opportunities associated with this unique property.
