26 First Ave, St Peters is a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom House and was built in 1890. The property has a land size of 1045m2 and floor size of 507m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in October 2018.
Words fail when First Avenue meets St. Peters Street's Avenue of Honour, and where a coveted quarter acre cradles a signature C1890 bluestone return verandah villa waiting to turn over a new leaf.
One step upon its tessellated tiles, one longing glance across its expansive 22.85m frontage, its 45.7m (approx.) deep corner allotment, and a lifestyle-inspiring tour of this diamond in the rough confirms every renovator's dreams.
Its state of disrepair will only excite the project builder with vision, those seeking a generous ready-to-restore slice of St. Peters brilliance, and those on the hunt for a turn-of-the-century family entertainer in the leafy eastern city-fringe.
Beyond its bluestone faade, other period features include fretwork and French doors, 3.5m decorative ceilings and high skirtings, plus a wide central hallway which deviates into four sizeable villa rooms each with fireplaces.
To the rear, its kitchen, bathroom, laundry and louvred sunroom meet the north-facing back garden all begging to become something special.
This is a journey worth taking; just like the trip downstairs to the cobblestoned cellar with fireplace
Planning approval exists for a full-scale renovation (the home cannot be bulldozed), design drawings are available to view, and any trees are good to go, says the council.
Which leaves an impressive blank canvas to re-fence, landscape and redesign (subject to the usual building approvals.)
And the character-laden original stone and brick coach house out back deserves to stand proudly alongside the home's rebirth - quoins and all - think rustic pool pavilion, rear garage or studio
Such beauty only belongs in these coveted surrounds granting you back-street thoroughfare to St. Peters College, a skip down Stephen Terrace to the iconic St. Peters Bakery, a single minute walk to The Avenues Shopping Centre and Cibo, plus easy proximity to Magill Road, the city and The Parade.
If raw potential amongst eastern suburbs prestige counts for anything, this villa spells love at First sight
