42 Murray Street, Elsternwick VIC 3185

THE DEAL
Homes like this carry a story, and this one is ready, waiting and primed for its next chapter. Owning a substantial allotment of 674sqm (approx.) with dual access and a wide 15.46m frontage to Murray Street, this long-held, solid brick period home offers a rare opportunity to shape its future, whether restoring its timeless character, expanding its footprint, or pursuing a full redevelopment (STCA). One thing is certain: the possibilities here are as expansive as the property itself.

Held by only one family, it carries a quiet nostalgia, where every corner feels steeped in warmth and history. The four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom layout unfolds from the generous formal living and dining rooms, the scene of many Sunday lunches and celebrations, to the well-appointed modern kitchen, casual meals/family domain, and a bonus kosher kitchen to the rear. Sliding doors extend to a covered patio and established garden, where fruit trees and raised vegetable beds offer a quiet reminder of the care that has shaped this home over time.

Set up for families to make the most of the current floor plan, the bedrooms are perfectly zoned separately to the living spaces, with a central spa bathroom, ensuite to the main and a separate powder room. Although instantly loveable, it offers a wealth of space to personalise or plan anew (STCA), with a slow combustion wood fire, split system heating/cooling and central heating, alarm system and plenty of secure parking for the entire fleet. Plus, the location is truly unbeatable. Surrounded by the area’s finest homes, it’s just a block from Glen Huntly Road’s cafés, supermarkets, dining options and trams, with esteemed schools, including Leibler Yavneh College, Wesley College, Caulfield Primary and Caulfield Grammar, all within easy reach.

SEALS THE DEAL
Dual-access to the enormous four-car garage and workshop, with additional parking beyond secure gates to the front and a broad laneway to the rear. Scale, flexibility, and location locked and loaded.
