9 Thomas Street, Kew VIC 3101

Elevator-connected dual living | north-facing poolside entertaining | 17m frontage in Sackville Ward | zoned Auburn Primary The property’s primary competitive strength lies in its rare combination of a 17-metre frontage, a fully integrated elevator, and a north-facing poolside entertaining wing within a prestige Sackville Ward pocket. For a family buyer, the flexible 4-5 bedroom layout over two levels with a second poolside kitchen and separate office eliminates the need for immediate renovation. The northern orientation of the main living and pool area is a structural advantage that passive solar design and year-round outdoor use, positioning this house as a turnkey solution for those prioritising space and amenity over cosmetic updates. It serves best a multigenerational household or a professional couple with children who require a dedicated ground-floor workspace. The estimated value range sits above the lower listing bracket, meaning the buyer must negotiate from a position of informed patience. The property’s energy efficiency score is below the state average, which may translate to higher ongoing utility costs and should be factored into holding budgets. However, the absence of heritage or flood overlays combined with the generous lot depth and rear access offers a clear redevelopment pathway under STCA, should the buyer’s circumstances shift. Rental potential at approximately $1,945 per week provides a credible fallback if occupancy plans change. Hold this property as a long-term family home with the option to subdivide or develop the rear portion when zoning conditions permit.
