27 Eglinton Street, KewVIC

A modernist makeover or new home dreams, on 650m2 (approx.)

A hazy memory of its glorious Mid-Century Modernist days, this three-bedroom home is brimming with exciting future possibilities. Spanning 650m2 (approx.) in a sought-after family locale, the home sits among elite public and private schools, Yarra River recreation, city-bound transport and the Eastern freeway, and a leisurely walk to Willsmere Village’s cosy cafés and Kew Junction’s boutique shopping and fresh food.

Once a lively indoor-outdoor entertainer amid lush garden surrounds, the home offers excellent space for the modern family. Enveloped by high ceilings and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, dedicated living and dining zones are flooded in northerly light and garden views. A spacious retro-styled kitchen directly adjoins the dining area, while both living and dining domains stretch onto an immense terrace for sundrenched alfresco entertaining.

A separate, skylit lounge room offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom or home office, while a separate bungalow indulges teens’ retreat or artistic pursuits, complementing three generous bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. Free from covenants and overlays, this vast site inspires a swag of opportunities, including restoring the home’s classic modernist style through a lavish renovation, or building the new home design of your dreams (subject to council approval).
