Property details

A Grand Old Villa Begging for Revival

Buyer Enquiry Over: $595,000
Built in 1908, this 103m approx² double bay villa has undeniable charm-but make no mistake, it's seen better days. With two bedrooms, a study, separate lounge and dining, and original timber features including wood floors and classic panelling, the home is rich in character but in clear need of a full-scale restoration.

Set on a 369m² section with a shed/outbuilding, the property enjoys great afternoon sun and sits on a sought-after street just a short stroll from Brooklyn village and the city fringe. The location is exceptional, and homes here are rarely available-but this one comes with a serious to-do list.

This is a major renovation project. The pricing reflects the substantial remediation and rebuilding required. Prospective buyers should be prepared for extensive work-this is not a quick fix or a weekend DIY. It will require professional input, careful planning, and significant investment.

No remediation reports, engineering assessments, or costings are available. Buyers will need to conduct their own due diligence.

Why It's Still Worth Considering

> Prime location with enduring value
> Classic villa bones ready to be reimagined
> Flexible layout with potential to reconfigure
> Immediate possession available

If you've got the vision, the grit, and the resources to take on a true transformation, this could be your opportunity to create something remarkable. Restore the charm, modernise the layout, and unlock the full potential of this home.

Call today to arrange a viewing. Projects like this don't come around often-especially in a location this good.
