8 Fairview Street Hawthorn - James Buyer Advocates

8 Fairview Street, Hawthorn

This is all about that view—a rare, elevated, corner aspect across the Yarra that genuinely earns the street’s name. At 967 sqm, with no heritage overlay and major value-add potential, this is a site for vision. The existing 1960s-era house holds little architectural value, but the opportunity to create something truly exceptional is real. A new home here could be a landmark—an Australian, Melbourne-built statement that responds to this incredible natural context.

You’ll need to respect council and water/flood guidelines, but if you do it right, this becomes a generational hold. The top of the quote is $6.25m. At that number, you’re not buying what’s here—you’re buying what could be. And with design restraint, a reverence for place, and smart architectural execution, you don’t need concrete massing to make your mark. This is special land. Treat it that way.
