1 Gibney Street Hawthorn, VIC 3122

Set high on the preferred northern side of a tightly held cul-de-sac, this extended 1920s brick Bungalow presents an outstanding opportunity to create a contemporary home with the rare distinction of sweeping CBD skyline views. One of only eight homes in the locally significant Victory Estate, occupy the existing three-bedroom accommodation while plans take shape to renovate, capitalising on the home's original character, elevated 584sqm parcel, northern rear aspect and HCTZ2 zoning that offers the potential to build to a height of 11 metres (STCA).

Behind its distinctive elevated facade and broad front veranda, the single-level floorplan retains five original rooms defined by high ceilings, timber floors and open fireplaces. Three bedrooms accompany generous living and dining rooms, while the previous rear extension adds a functional kitchen and bathroom, and a beautifully bright north-facing sunroom. Opening to the sunny rear garden, this inviting everyday space clearly demonstrates the natural-light and indoor-outdoor advantages any future renovation could maximise. Ducted heating, a large shed/double garage, carport and additional off-street parking complete the existing accommodation.

Positioned in a prized Yarraside pocket with outstanding convenience to not only Hawthorn amenities, but Kew, Richmond and the CBD, walk to Hawthorn West Village cafe's and shops, trains, trams, St James Park and the Yarra, Hawthorn West Primary and esteemed Melbourne Girls' College with easy access to leading private schools, Glenferrie Road, Kew Junction, Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, the MCG and CBD.
