17 Strathalbyn St, Kew East VIC 3102

In the same hands for three generations just footsteps from Harp Village, this handsome period duplex provides a remarkable range of possibilities on a flat 836 sqm (approx.) with GRZ3 zoning and no heritage overlay. Sharing a deep northern boundary with Windella Reserve, its enviable dimensions, 18.3m (approx.) frontage and prime proximity to leading schools, transport and, of course, village cafes and dining, present an exciting opportunity for investors, flip renovators, families and boutique developers.

Currently configured as two beautifully spacious apartments, options include, but are not limited to, renovating the existing homes to improve their rental rewards, renovating/ reconfiguring and extending to create one magnificent family home that blends its mid-century character with state-of-the-art contemporary function, starting again with a brand new family showpiece, possibly with second storey CBD views, or exploiting the parcel’s broad frontage, level land and parkland aspect with a luxurious boutique development (STCA).

Behind its distinguished façade, triple brick proportions host ground and first-floor apartments with a deep rear garden, double garage and extensive off-street parking. Comfortable accommodation is defined by traditional character, high ceilings, broad original windows and abundant northern light in an elegant two-bedroom format that features three living domains, each including one with open fireplace ideal as a third bedroom, functional kitchen and bathroom, new carpet, gas heating and laundry facilities, with apartment 1 (upstairs) enjoying leafy parkland and tree top CBD views.
