9 Osborne Street, South Yarra

Three of the hardest things to find in South Yarra are single-level homes on decent blocks, with parking, and in great locations like this; the desirable one-way southern section of Osborne Street. Not only does this significant home have all three (and yes, two car parks), for those that know property the rare northern land and north-west backyard make this one of those special opportunities not to be missed.

Step back in time to the roaring 1920s with 9 Osborne Street in South Yarra. This rare gem is an Edwardian masterpiece, exuding timeless elegance and charm. Situated on a generous plot of land with space on the northern side, this home offers a unique sense of privacy and tranquility. The tranquility is matched by that exciting and refreshing feeling of walking into a home of such huge dimensions; such a rarity in South Yarra.

As you step into the wide entrance lobby with high ceilings, you are greeted by the grandeur of a bygone era. Original period features adorn every corner, showcasing the craftsmanship and detail of the 1920s. The generously sized rooms provide ample space for comfortable living, creating an inviting and spacious atmosphere. People underestimate the benefits of much higher ceilings, much wider hallways and all the benefits of homes as large as this. The built form itself is a function of the generous land size, but once you explore the opportunities to enjoy separate formal and informal living areas, or the chance to enhance or significantly renovate 9 Osborne Street, you will soon be able to grasp all that is on offer.

This home was extended and fully renovated in the early 2000's, blending modern convenience with classic charm. The seamless integration of old and new enhances the character of the property, offering a perfect balance of history and contemporary living. Importantly, there isn't a cent to spend to move in straight away or rent it out while your plans develop. There is no better position from which to enjoy the best of Prahran Market, Chapel Street and all that Melbourne has to offer. Experience the grandeur of a bygone era in this sizeable and meticulously crafted home, where each detail pays homage to the sophistication and style of the 1920s. This is the first chance anyone has had to buy this property since 1977, and if you ask the neighbours, they will tell you just how tightly held this particular neighborhood is; and for good reason. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of history.
