12 Iona Street, Black Rock, Vic 3193

For decades, this Bayside classic has been the backdrop to family milestones, Sunday lunches, and a backyard that’s seen more than a few impromptu cricket matches. Now, its future is up for grabs for the first time since its conception.

One of the last remaining original homes in the street, steps from the village on a generous 658 sqm (approx.) allotment spanning a depth of 43m and a north-facing frontage of 15.2m, the home holds incredible potential, whether it’s a designer renovation, a full-scale redevelopment, or a thoughtful revival of its vintage charm (STCA). Interiors reflect its well-loved past, with a traditional living room and three bedrooms, including a main bedroom with a garden outlook, two bathrooms, and a sunlit kitchen and meals area leading to an expansive rear yard. A separate studio, garage, and workshop round out the picture, while off-street parking and established wisteria within the striking cottage garden add to its appeal.

With Black Rock Village, buses, and the beach all within walking distance and zoning for excellent schools, including Beaumaris College and Mentone Girls’ Secondary College, this kind of opportunity doesn’t land often. Whether you’re looking to create or curate, the future here is unmistakably bright.
