Footsteps from Kew Junction in one of Kew’s most renowned tree-lined streets, this handsome 1920s residence sits on a staggering 1328sqm parcel with broad 23.2m frontage. Cared for by generations of the one family for much of its life, its generous proportions retain the rich character and traditional appeal of a bygone era in a garden whose size and space have allowed a rare sense of freedom and adventure so close to Kew’s flagship retail/ dining precinct. 
Offered now for the first time in over 55 years, its largely original three-bedroom accommodation creates a number of possibilities that, with no heritage overlay and GRZ3 zoning, make the utmost of the parcel’s substantial dimensions. Retain and renovate to create one of Kew’s most magnificent family homes, build a brand new luxury home as the centrepiece of a family compound with resort-style amenities or explore the unquestionable appeal of a redevelopment project (STCA) on a near flat parcel with minimal setbacks and walking convenience to virtually every amenity. 
Behind an evocative façade, leadlight windows, high ceilings, timber panelling and multiple open fireplaces define a generous single level layout that expands out from a formal entry foyer to two impressive living rooms served by an original eat-in kitchen, now equipped with a Falcon dual fuel range and walk-in pantry. Three generous bedrooms occupy their own wing with a functional bathroom, the main retaining its original adjoining study/sunroom. With extensive storage, ducted heating, split cooling, surrounding garden with large rear garage featuring extensive storage and additional secure off-street parking.
