In one of Camberwell’s most exclusive tree-lined streets within the coveted Sunnyside Estate, ‘Airdrie’ presents an outstanding opportunity to create a landmark residence on a substantial, level allotment of approximately 836sqm. With its wide frontage, generous proportions and established streetscape, the property provides an inspiring foundation for a bespoke architectural home, subject to council approval.
Built circa 1920, this original double-brick Californian Bungalow retains an abundance of period character, including an ornate timber fretwork entrance foyer, soaring ceilings of approximately 3.2 metres, picture rails, leadlight windows, deep sills and traditional timber overmantels. Existing accommodation comprises a north-facing lounge with box bay window and cast-iron wood heater, grand dining room, three generous bedrooms, vintage kitchen and meals area with pantry, central bathroom, sunroom or study, classic laundry and side fernery. While offering scope for sympathetic restoration, the property’s significant landholding presents an exciting opportunity to reimagine the site and create a contemporary residence tailored to this distinguished address.
A level rear garden, complemented by a brick workshop and separate shed, further enhances the site’s versatility. Whether envisioning an architect-designed statement home with expansive living zones and beautifully landscaped gardens or exploring alternative redevelopment possibilities, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial parcel of land in one of Camberwell’s most tightly held residential pockets.
Moments from Burke Road trams, Camberwell Junction’s renowned shopping and dining precinct, and the iconic Rivoli Cinema, the property also offers convenient access to Camberwell Market, railway stations and the M1 Freeway. An outstanding selection of leading schools is nearby, including Camberwell Grammar, Camberwell Girls’ School, Camberwell Primary School, Canterbury Girls’ Secondary College, Auburn High School, Scotch College and Lauriston Girls’ School.
