5 Affleck Street, South Yarra, Vic 3141

Behind this classic double-fronted Victorian exterior lies more than charm. It’s a spacious surprise on approximately 380sqm with room to grow and scope to elevate.  Move in now, update over time, or go all-in with a rear extension or second level (STCA). The bones are solid. The upside is obvious.

The traditional front section delivers three generous bedrooms beneath ornate high ceilings with plaster roses, including one with an elegant timber fireplace. They share access to a good-size bathroom featuring separate bath and shower facilities. Step deeper in and the interior opens up dramatically with a formal lounge leading to a vast open-plan family and dining room, all tied together with a timber kitchen with gas cooktop and wall ovens.

Out back, the northwest-facing garden catches abundant sunshine, while the covered patio sets the scene for laidback entertaining. There’s also a rare double carport with laneway access and roller door, which is a real bonus in this tightly held pocket. Extras include brand-new carpets, split-system air conditioner, outside laundry, and a location trams, Fawkner Park, Prahran Market, trains, and top-tier schools all within walking distance.

Big block. Brilliant bones. Prime position. South Yarra potential doesn’t get better than this.
