2 Rimington Avenue, Kew VIC 3101

Mid-century Coote design | 698sqm north-facing garden | Deepdene Primary catchment | No recent street sales to benchmark. This property offers a rare convergence of architectural provenance and family-scaled land in a tightly held Kew pocket. The Lewis Coote design provides genuine differentiation in a market where period character is often generic, and the 698sqm block with northerly aspect commands a premium for buyers seeking space without leaving the school zone. The open-plan layout and large windows suit those who value light and flow over compartmentalised rooms, and the absence of heritage, bushfire, or flood overlays removes typical friction points. It serves best a professional family prioritising school proximity and architectural integrity over turnkey finish. The primary risk is pricing uncertainty: no sales on Rimington Avenue in twelve months and a wide estimate range from $2.34m to $3.29m mean the buyer must anchor on the listing guide and nearby No. 12’s $2.6m result. The 51% site coverage leaves limited scope for extension without planning work, and the mid-century fabric may require selective updating to meet contemporary insulation and amenity standards. The opportunity lies in securing a Coote home below replacement cost for the land and design alone. Hold as a long-term family property; the school catchment and architectural rarity underpin capital stability.
