Hawthorn 14 Manchester Street

Tucked away in a leafy pocket and seemingly frozen in a distant past of simpler times, this charming property is a classic example of a Federation period home presented in fairly original condition. To the dedicated period renovator, the challenge to restore the home to its former glory along with a modern extension/renovation at the rear will be almost irresistible (STCA). Buyers keen to secure a piece of prime Hawthorn real estate in order to construct a brand new luxury dwelling in a superb location may also be interested (STCA).

With an attractive facade, 12-foot ceilings, picture rails and many other original period features, the property has 3 double bedrooms (1 with period open fireplace), a large formal lounge situated opposite an equally large formal dining, central bathroom, galley kitchen, sunroom/utility room, laundry, security, rear shed/workshop plus a single carport.

Only moments from trams running East through Camberwell or west to the CBD, this highly desirable location, part of the original Manchester Estate Subdivision, is also just an easy stroll to boutique shopping and eateries at both Auburn and Glenferrie roads. Within walking distance of parks, childcare facilities, primary schools, Swinburne Senior Secondary College and Swinburne University, this is an opportunity that comes all too rarely.
