1905 return verandah villa | 870sqm allotment in established pocket | Pool and spa entertainer | Four-bedroom flexibility This is an extensively renovated 1905 return verandah villa positioned in Westbourne Park’s highly sought-after locale. The property spans 172 square metres across four bedrooms with two bathrooms, offering multiple living zones and a dedicated study. The expansive 870 square metre allotment provides substantial land value, particularly notable given the era of construction and inner-suburb positioning. The home features a designer kitchen with butler’s pantry, open-plan living areas flooded with natural light, and an entertainer’s terrace overlooking a sparkling pool and spa. Reverse-cycle air conditioning, solar panels, and NBN Fibre to the Curb connectivity indicate modern systems integration within a heritage-era structure. Westbourne Park attracts established families and downsizers seeking character properties with development potential. The suburb sits within Mitcham council, with catchment access to Westbourne Park Primary School and Unley High School. Demographics skew toward families and mature residents, with 31 percent under 20 and 26 percent aged 40-59. The property suits buyers valuing entertaining capacity, period character, and substantial land holdings. The four-bedroom configuration with multiple living zones appeals to families requiring home office flexibility or multi-generational living arrangements. The pool and spa position it as an entertainer’s property rather than a primary investment play. Demand remains steady for character homes with renovation credentials in this pocket. The combination of established gardens, pool infrastructure, and flexible internal layout reduces buyer search friction. Last sold in 2015, the property has undergone significant capital improvement, positioning it within the premium segment of the suburb’s market. Growth drivers centre on land value appreciation within inner-suburb constraints and the scarcity of large allotments in established areas. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays removes regulatory friction for future development or modification. Risks include maintenance costs associated with period construction and pool upkeep expenses.
