Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Friday 27 March 2026 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)
For the first time since its construction in the 1950s, this well loved weatherboard treasure is offered to the market. Held by the same family for over seven decades, this home represents a rare "blank canvas" opportunity in a prime Kelston location. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer looking to restore a mid-century classic or a developer ready to capitalise on the exceptional land value, this is a fleeting opportunity to secure a property with good bones and even better prospects.
The home has been faithfully maintained and remains in tidy, original condition, featuring three double bedrooms, all conveniently equipped with built in wardrobes. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen and dining area - a forward thinking layout for its time that now provides the perfect foundation for a modern renovation. The separate living room, complete with a classic fireplace, offers a cosy retreat for those cooler months.
Partially fenced, it includes a freestanding garage and a studio/shed that provide good storage and workshop space. While perfectly livable as is, the potential to add value here is immense.
Beyond the weatherboard walls lies the real prize: a prime land holding zoned Residential-Mixed Housing Suburban. Savvy investors and developers will immediately recognise the potential for land banking or exploring the intensification options this zoning provides.
Positioned for ultimate ease, the property is within easy reach of local transport links, schools, supermarkets, and shops, ensuring that any future development or family home will be perfectly situated for convenience.
After 70 years of cherished ownership, the instructions are clear: this property must be sold. In a market where original 1950s gems on developable land are increasingly scarce, this is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss.
Call us for a private viewing or attend the open homes to experience the charm and potential of this Kelston classic.
