Kew 23 Gellibrand Street
An Elegant Family Home in the Making
Just a lazy stroll from the tranquil Alexandra Gardens, in a street lined with beautifully restored period residences, this double-fronted Victorian weatherboard home awaits its turn.
The character details are there but in need of TLC. A good portion of the hard work has been done with a new roof in place and wiring, plumbing and stumps attended to.
There is space to spare in the 2 main front rooms which would have started life as formal living and main bedroom with high ceilings, roses and cornices, open fireplaces and marble mantelpieces. The wide central hall features a traditional archway and leads to 3 further rooms that could easily serve as bedrooms/study/formal dining/family room depending upon the resident family dynamic. The original kitchen is still in place as is a large utility room and a bathroom which has been forsaken for a newer model across the hall.
As is often the case, the rear of the home has been added to over the years by utility spaces that could easily be replaced by a sympathetic or contrasting contemporary extension into the spacious backyard (STCA).
Current features include the unique iron lacework on the front verandah, the block-fronted facade, Baltic pine floors, 2 air-conditioners and tandem garage (or garage and workshop).
An inspiring renovation/restoration project and an elegant family home in the making, close to transport, Kew Junction amenities and prestige private schools.
