28 Byron Street, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039

Victorian heritage core | fully renovated 2024 | 604m² north-facing block | Poets Corner walkability This property offers a rare combination of a 1901 Victorian shell, a comprehensive 2024 renovation, and a 604m² north-facing lot in Moonee Ponds’ most sought-after pocket. The competitive edge lies in the build quality and layout: a single-level floor plan with 3.6-metre ceilings in the original section, a dedicated home office, and a resort-grade outdoor zone with a heated mineral pool and full BBQ kitchen. For a family seeking a lock-and-leave luxury home within walking distance of Puckle Street, the station, and top private schools, this house delivers a finished product that would cost significantly more to replicate on a similar block today. The hydronic heating, zoned air conditioning, and NBN FTTP add genuine liveability without being headline drivers. The key risk is the price point: at a $3.475 million guide, the buyer is paying a premium for the renovation premium and the Poets Corner location, with suburb values showing a slight dip of -0.5%. The heritage overlay limits future external changes, and the 47% site coverage leaves modest scope for further expansion. However, the property’s rental yield (2.4–2.6%) is respectable for this price bracket, and the north-south orientation with rear ROW access supports long-term hold. Buyers should treat this as a finished family home, not a development site, and secure it for its lifestyle adjacency and scarcity of renovated Victorians on this scale in the precinct.
