NOTE: For your convenience, please enter via 43 Alva Street and walk up the driveway for this weekend’s open homes
Coming to the market this weekend are two adjoining parcels of land, encompassing 12 Montpellier Street and 43 Alva Street. Together, they form a unique and versatile property offering dual access, generous off-street parking, and exceptional privacy, with lifestyle flexibility and future potential.
Set across a combined land area of 1,228m² (more or less), and with a well-proportioned floor area of 210m² (approx.), this home offers space, character, and functionality in equal measure.
Access via Alva Street brings you up a tree-lined driveway to the front entrance, with parking for 3–4 vehicles and a welcoming sense of privacy. The Montpellier Street entrance offers double garaging and room for additional vehicles, ideal for trailers or garden access.
The home itself is a beautifully maintained 1920s two-storey stucco residence, with Art Deco accents, leadlight windows, and a classic slate roof. From the Montpellier side, you step down through landscaped gardens to bifold doors that open into the kitchen and dining area, perfectly positioned for afternoon sun and easy outdoor flow.
This leads through to a generous day living space, featuring stunning leadlight windows, a feature stone fireplace, and a wood-burner, a warm, inviting hub for everyday living.
Across the hallway is the formal lounge, featuring a second wood-burner, French doors, and access to a charming English-style courtyard, ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat.
The home is warmed by two wood-burners and two heat pumps, providing comfort across both levels. The bifold doors are double glazed, offering additional warmth and energy efficiency in this key living zone. A separate laundry and powder room complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, a generous landing connects to four double bedrooms, all positioned to enjoy sunlight as it moves throughout the day. The master bedroom looks out across the Alva driveway and toward the courtyard. A family bathroom with bath and vanity sits at the end of the hall, along with a separate toilet for added convenience.
What truly sets this property apart is how it balances lifestyle and location. It’s hard to believe a home with this level of privacy, sun, and space is so centrally located. Here, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful family retreat with everything the city has to offer close by.
Beautifully appointed, tastefully styled, and set on dual titles with flexible access and layout options, this is a rare offering in a prime location.
Look forward to meeting you this weekend.
