1 Station Street, Kew East VIC 3102

Sitting proud, this 1920’s Art Deco beauty has long enjoyed prestige placement in one of Kew East’s most prominently located streets. Perfectly preserved today and boasting the rare advantage of rear laneway access, it encompasses ever-present appeal, with terrific scope for modern enhancement, subdivision or redevelopment (STCA). An inspiring original, the front of the home possesses all the fine characteristics of a bygone era; from the wide-open portico entry and exquisite foyer with high ceilings, intricate cornicing, ceiling roses and picture rails - to the polished floorboards and French doors. Sash and bay windows, open fireplaces and fine architecture enhance formal lounge and dining rooms – that can be sectioned off on cosy winter days or kept open for continuity. The rear extension is ripe for contemporary reconfiguration; that could see the large kitchen and family room transformed into a spectacular family precinct bathed in full-length northerly sunshine. A large sliding door seamlessly connects indoor/outdoor living – spilling out to a deck with ficus wrapped pergola and sprawling backyard with shed and wood storage. Generously accommodating, it hosts four bedrooms and three bathrooms; including a self-contained bungalow with living area. A sizeable office with built-in desk and shelving is ideal for those who work from home and there is abundant storage found throughout. Graced with all the creature comforts, it includes: gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, alarm system and two car spaces. Brimming with character and future possibilities, this remarkable property allows you to move straight in, appreciate, update or explore its phenomenal redevelopment potential; with the option to utilise the rear laneway access to build a second home or two brand new townhouses (STCA). Located within walking distance to High Street shops, cafes, city-bound buses and trams. Enjoying imminent access to parks, trails, cinemas, the Eastern freeway plus a wide selection of elite schools such Xavier College, Trinity Grammar, MLC, Ruyton and Genazzano FCJ.
