Restore, Renovate, Reimagine

Held by the one family since 1941, 146 Simpson Street presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a remarkable piece of East Melbourne history in one of the city's most tightly held tree-lined streets.

Originally built in 1870, this classic Victorian residence is now available, offering a rare blank canvas for those with vision to restore, renovate or completely reimagine a grand inner-city home (STCA). Rich in character and timeless appeal, the home retains echoes of its historic past, with soaring ceilings, generous proportions and a flexible floorplan providing the foundations for an extraordinary transformation.

Beyond the elegant façade lies an increasingly rare opportunity to revive a residence that has been tightly cherished by the same family for over eight decades. Whether you are seeking a full-scale renovation project, a landmark restoration or the chance to create a bespoke luxury residence in a blue-chip location, the potential here is undeniable.

Perfectly positioned moments from Fitzroy Gardens, the MCG, Melbourne CBD and the vibrant café culture of the inner north, this prestigious address delivers an unrivalled lifestyle with every convenience at your doorstep.

A truly rare offering with endless scope and historic significance, proudly offered for the first time in more than 80 years.
