36 Melbourne Avenue

By Negotiation

A Grand Family Estate on 1,429m² - Steps from Canberra Girls Grammar.

What You See:
Offered for the first time in decades, 36 Melbourne Avenue presents a rare opportunity in one of Canberra’s most prestigious and tightly held streets. Built in 1937 and gracefully extended over time, this grand and classic residence stands proudly directly opposite Canberra Girls Grammar Senior School and is the closest home to the school gates – an address that defines convenience, prestige, and enduring value.

Inside, the home reveals a generous and versatile floorplan with multiple living zones that offer both separation and connection. Formal and informal living areas flow naturally through the ground floor, providing quiet spaces to unwind and expansive rooms for when it’s time for the family to come together. Upstairs, an additional living area accompanies the master suite and four bedrooms – perfect for large families or multi-generational living.

The existing structure offers a solid and character-filled foundation, ready to be remodelled, refreshed, or completely transformed. Sitting on a substantial north-facing block with dual frontage from Melbourne Avenue through to Empire Circuit, the land itself is perfectly positioned. Whether you choose to restore the home’s timeless character or design something entirely new, the options here are as impressive as the location itself.

What We See:
A once-in-a-generation Deakin opportunity. Grand, versatile, and ready for its next chapter.
