78 Elgin Street, Hawthorn, Vic 3122

Steeped in tradition and filled with future possibilities as bright as the natural light flowing through its ample north-facing windows, this solid brick, three bedroom, double story, Victorian terrace home is a rare, family-sized opportunity on a coveted corner allotment in Hawthorn’s coveted St James Park precinct. Barely five kilometres from the CBD and just metres from Hawthorn West’s village vibes, all with St James Park just at the end of the street, this is a grand period classic, destined for greatness and certain to reward your vision.
Set on bluestone foundations and rising regally above the street, the home is introduced by a traditional tiled entrance revealing a lounge with open fireplace and a heritage-styled kitchen / dining, before opening to a rear courtyard that draws plenty of northern and western sunshine. The bedrooms each reflect classic Victorian proportions under soaring ceilings – one with a fireplace and another with mirrored robes – plus there is a bright, family-sized bathroom with an independent bathtub, as well as under-stair storage, hydronic heating and split system heating / air conditioning.
Zoned for the highly sought-after Melbourne Girls College and offering easy access to an impressive selection of elite private schools, this is a dream location for families, on the cusp of not only St James Park and the Yarra River, but also near some wonderful local cafes, bars, dining, city-bound trams and trains from Hawthorn Railway Station.
