126 Peel Street, Kew VIC 3101

4-bed Victorian double-fronted | 179sqm internal | circa 1880 character | Kew private-school precinct | family-upsizer demand This is a genuinely rare offering in Kew: a circa-1880 double-fronted Victorian with four bedrooms and two bathrooms on a single level, retaining its period form and block-fronted exterior. The internal area of 179 square metres is generous for a Victorian-era house and positions it well for family living without the compromises of a narrow terrace or a later subdivision. Its location in the tightly held private-school precinct means demand is driven by buyers who prioritise heritage character and school access over modern convenience, and the property is likely to appeal most strongly to families upsizing from smaller period homes or seeking a long-term residence in an established inner-eastern setting. The asking range suggests this property sits at the upper end of Kew’s period-house market, and value will be most sensitive to the condition of original fabric—particularly the roof, chimneys, and any decorative plasterwork—as well as the quality of any recent updates to kitchen and bathrooms. Buyers should weigh whether the floorplan works for modern family life without major reconfiguration, and consider that a period home of this age may involve higher ongoing maintenance than a newer build. The lack of a stated land size is a notable gap; a deeper or wider block would add significant value, while a shallow one might limit future extension potential.
