88A William Street, Balaclava, Vic 3183

Situated in 'Grosvenor Mansions', that began life as a row of handsome Victorian terraces before being converted to apartments between the wars, this older-style abode is now ready for its next reincarnation. 
In need of renovation that would really bring the spaces to life, the top floor home has no active owners' corporation and is accessed via an Arts & Crafts external staircase which leads to the front-facing verandah. Inside, the accommodation is crowned by soaring ceilings, while timber floors are there to be fully uncovered and polished to please. 
To the front, the main bedroom is of generous proportions and features an open fireplace that could be restored, creating an intimate space for cold winter nights. Further on is a well-sized living area, while the second bedroom is filled with light and would be a peaceful space to work from home. A central kitchen and bathroom are also offered along with a wall heater in the hallway.
An exciting opportunity to create a stylish inner-city haven with true character and a heritage soul, the home would respond well to a new kitchen and bathroom, a lick of paint and some gentle maintenance. Once complete, it would appeal to any busy owner-occupier or investor.
Opposite the pocket park, and the easiest walk to bustling cafes, vibrant shops & city-bound trams, there is also the station within steps to take you to Chapel Street, the MCG or further afield.
