94 Roden Street

West Melbourne VIC 3003

A substantial residence with dual street frontage on the edge of the city, 'Thor Alice' c1884 is a timeless balcony terrace of extra width, extra space and extraordinary potential. Set beyond a large nature strip on a quiet tree-lined street, this extensive Victorian retains its original grandeur with filigreed faade, marble fireplaces and high ceilings leading to a deep, north-facing rear garden with garage (former stable with hay loft!) to broad Jones Place named after the home's renowned builder, John Jones. The traditional layout is classically comfortable with 4 sizable bedrooms (or 3 and home office) complemented by a living room, a dining room and a kitchen/meals area. There's also a main bathroom and a separate 2nd bathroom (spa bath) and laundry. The city, as viewed from the upstairs main bedroom and balcony, is just nearby as are Errol Street's great cafs and shops, trams, train station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market, hospitals, University High School and Melbourne University. A unique city-fringe opportunity, 'Thor Alice' presents powerful potential and a wonderful, once in a lifetime chance to introduce a fresh luxurious look, reimagine with a stunning renovation or restore to its former glory.
