Etched into the prized high side of The Common to command attention well before you even discover its pool, tennis court and potential to sub-divide, this imposing tri-level residence on some 1920sqm (including a 150 ft/ 45m approx. frontage) doesn't just tell a story...
It hands you the pen and says, "let's write something special".
One potential title belongs to the court - approx 600sqm of clean, levelled opportunity. Keep it as is, let the thwack of ball on string echo through your evenings. Or build something new. Sell it off. Sit on it.
Anchored in some 1300sqm of land and sweeping views over The Common, the home itself - a broad-shouldered 1981 Georgian-inspired build by Jack Hines, holding ground on a 530sqm footprint - stands with head-turning intent.
You can live in it as-is. Easily. But there's room - and reason - to update. Think cosmetic, not structural. The framework is already strong. Grand formal rooms, casual spaces, a thoughtful floor plan that's stood the test of decades.
Upstairs, the main suite is oversized and quietly removed, with views over the park and a retreat at the landing, a moment of pause between three more bedrooms and their shared bathroom.
The basement tells a different story - one of many possibilities. Separate access. A utility room that could be anything. A laundry with the bones of a kitchen. A cellar, just waiting for the right collection. It could be self-contained living, a teenage haven, an indulgent games room, cellar or wine tasting room - or all three over time.
For those with grander visions, you could write something bold, considered and built to stretch out across the full landholding without flinching.
Or go the other way. Two new homes where the current one stands. A third rising from the court. Three dwellings. Three different stories. All quietly unfolding in one of the east's most tightly held corners.
And what a corner it is, moments from Burnside Village, Hazelwood Park, hiking trails that lead you somewhere quieter without needing a reason, schools with real reputations and the CBD itself.
