A private, city-edge residence paired with one of the area's most recognisable gallery spaces, this freestanding, solid-brick Victorian presents a versatile opportunity on 432 sqm (approx), with prized rear laneway access, off-street parking for two, and a sun-drenched northern rear aspect.
The generous and stylish shopfront, long utilised as an artist's gallery, offers clear potential for a lucrative business, creative studio or consulting suite while remaining distinct from the main home. Alternatively, it could be reimagined as an additional living space, extending a floor plan already discreetly set behind high fences and tailored to modern-day single-level living.
The centrally heated layout moves easily, beginning with a generously sized bedroom and two additional robed bedrooms, including the main bedroom with a walk-in robe, ensuite, and direct access to the courtyard garden. A spacious study adds flexibility as a fourth bedroom, while the bright bathroom and laundry sit tucked off the hallway, connected by a contemporary entertainer's kitchen, appointed with a wealth of storage, sleek stone benchtops, a large island and quality Ilve and Bosch appliances.
North-facing dining and living zones unfold from here, with sliding timber doors opening to a spa-side alfresco designed for easy open-air living. Just beyond, the original red-brick stables remain, revived with split system heating/AC, a mezzanine retreat and extensive storage, ideal as a studio, workshop or teenage hideaway.
Zoned Residential 1, this sizeable holding also presents significant scope to renovate further, extend or redevelop in a premier location (STCA), moments from trams, High Street and Glenferrie Road dining, Tooronga Station, and leading schools, including Auburn High School, Bialik College, Lauriston Girls' School and De La Salle College.
