Farmhouse in Prahran? Say It Ain’t So!

Oh, but it is so! And it actually does look a bit like a farmhouse, complete with odd broom-thingy on the front porch and a very tired interior. In the inner-suburb of Melbourne otherwise known for its attached Victorian rowhouses, this property does in fact represent a pretty rare offering; the setback from the road (and gravel DRIVEWAY) make it quite unique. The original tile work, marble fireplaces, and “ancient” landscaping are definitely worth salvaging; the rest is in need of a pretty hearty refresh. Murray Street is undoubtedly the nicest Prahran Street east of William St (and the second nicest street in the suburb to Grandview - which may as well be an Armadale or Malvern address given its distinctly suburban vibe; often-talked about “The Avenue” comes in at 3rd place in the hierarchy of Prahran streets). Murray St doesn’t see many listings, especially none of which are as sizeable as this farmhouse

RT Edgar agents Sarah Case and Jeremy Fox have the listing that’s going to auction on 22 February. They are expected $2m+, which in my mind is a very, very strong BUY.
