20 Parkville Street, BurnleyVIC3121

Pairing the tranquillity of leafy surrounds with the vibrancy of city-fringe life, this park-fronting classic offers stirring scope to harness inherent character, employ a creative eye in an inspired renovation, and make a mark on a beloved Burnley enclave.

Among a row of quaint, semi-detached cottages exuding Edwardian charm, the home’s alluring stance proves an exceptional foundation for a ground-up revamp. As it stands, the floor plan’s two large bedrooms are joined by broad living and dining areas, an open kitchen, combined bathroom/laundry, and west-facing courtyard, with options present retain the layout and refresh, keep original spaces and extend, or start anew behind the façade and craft a cutting-edge residence.

Benefiting from rear lane frontage for broader design possibilities and potential off-street parking, the abode enjoys sensational placement in one of inner-Melbourne’s tightest-held pockets, with Golden Square Bicentennial Park directly opposite for barbecues under blue skies and kids to burn off their energy. Elite schools on both sides of the Yarra, Burnley Park and Golf Course, and the verve of famous Swan and Burnley Streets sit just moments away, while Burnley Station, the 70 tram, scenic Yarra bike trail, and CityLink ensure quick and easy access to Melbourne Park, the MCG, and bustling CBD.
