7 Wimba Avenue Kew
James Home Rating: 780
Inspected: 4/9/25
Position
Wimba Avenue is a strong, tightly held Kew address. It’s close to Melbourne’s elite private schools and well-connected to transport and key amenities. A safe, long-term family location.
Land
- Size: Large block with tennis court and pool — a standout in this pocket.
- Potential: Non-heritage overlay. This gives future flexibility: live in as is, renovate, or bulldoze and rebuild in 10–15 years.
Property
- Style: 1930s home renovated by a builder. While clean and functional, it doesn’t carry major architectural merit.
- Condition: Move-in ready. Very clean, solid accommodation.
- Rooms: Adequate bedroom sizes; master not clearly defined. Laundry in an awkward spot, which closes in the rear of the home.
- Flow: Works but not optimised. Rear connection could be improved.
Buyer Fit
- Families: Suits larger families who want land, tennis court, pool, and proximity to schools.
- Long-Term Holders: Ideal for buyers who see this as a 20–30 year proposition.
- Developers / Builders: Opportunity in future to rebuild without heritage constraints.
Market & Value
- Context: This is ultimately a land and location play. The house adds utility, but the long-term value rests in the block and address.
- Summary: A big Kew landholding with tennis court and pool, on a premium street. The house is solid and livable now, but the real story is the flexibility and longevity of the site. At the right price, this is a property that could serve a family for decades.
