3 Swinton Avenue KEW

Comments on 3 Swinton Avenue KEW

This property is all about opportunity: the opportunity to build a new home in one of Kew's better streets, Swinton Avenue, and the opportunity to invest in bluechip Inner-Melbourne land. At 990m2 the land is a good size and, importantly, the width is generous. The main concerns are the block slope, as the land falls from front to back, affecting street presence and the indoor/outdoor connection to the backyard. The southerly rear orientation affects access to natural light, and any new design will need to be clever to factor this in. At present there are good views to the south and south west, which could be excellent if the new house included a second or or third level. With recent solid sales in nearby Rockingham Street and Miller Grove and for Boroondara land in general, this should be hotly contested. Rated for land characteristics only.
