With so few of our City's alluring grand old residences remaining, surely the next owner of this landmark Fendalton property will have the confidence and tenacity to take her gracefully into the next 100 years! We hope so. However, always pragmatic, we believe some buyers including developers, may find this enticing 869sqm, beautifully established site at one of our finest addresses irresistible! North facing on the west side of the street, there are substantial trees on all boundaries, and if retained, provide ready-made privacy for Architects of a new home.
With a significant history and great bones, there is much to support renovation. Built in 1915 by the Jackson family, then residing at No 5, for their son, the four living rooms and five bedrooms are all sizable and well proportioned. Beautiful sash windows are framed with classic green shutters, and there are some impressive lead lights. Following the EQs, strengthening and insulation was completed, and all fireplaces replaced and augmented by no less than six heat pumps. There is no disputing that this is a property in need of some serious TLC, but we believe it is a viable project for a committed buyer. There is huge potential here, with the kitchen especially crying out for a major revamp. The three bathrooms have been upgraded recently with lovely Italian Travertine tiling.
Whatever the future holds for this grand old lady, the impeccable location endures. In the heart of our most prestigious suburb and surrounded by luxurious new builds and large properties with tennis courts and swimming pools, we know your investment is secure. Schooling continues to underpin values with proximity to all our salubrious private schools and in zone for highly regarded CGHS, CBHS, Fendalton Primary, and Elmwood.
Our sellers were planning to embark on a renovation project here, but have done an about turn, and are now happily ensconced in their home on Cashmere Hill. Come and see if you might take on this endeavour!
