A distinctive freestanding commercial property in one of Melbourne's most sought-after inner suburbs has been brought to market, offering a unique opportunity for owner-occupiers and developers alike.

Located at 53-55 Church Street, Hawthorn, the 1930s brick showroom presents 238 square metres of versatile commercial space on a generous 442 square metre site. One of the property's standout features is its exceptional 50-metre combined street frontage, providing unprecedented exposure in this blue-chip location.

"This is truly a unique offering in Melbourne's inner-eastern commercial market," says Bernard Corser of Corser Property. "The combination of the building's character features, prominent corner position, and its location in one of Melbourne's most prestigious suburbs makes this an exceptionally rare opportunity."

The property features multiple strategic advantages, including its position on a major tram route and multiple frontages providing flexible access options for any future use. "We're seeing strong interest from creative businesses and hospitality operators who recognise the potential of this location," notes Corser. "The property's Commercial 1 zoning provides flexibility for various business uses, while its low 54% site coverage offers significant development potential, subject to council approval."

The building's distinctive 1930s architecture and corner position create what Corser describes as "showstopper potential" for the right buyer. "Properties with this level of street presence and character rarely come to market in Hawthorn. The combination of forecourt visitor parking and secure rear parking for 6+ vehicles is particularly valuable in this location."

Situated in Melbourne's prestigious inner-eastern corridor, the property benefits from its position within an affluent catchment area. "The surrounding precinct offers an impressive array of amenities, from premium cafés to high-end retail, creating an ideal environment for businesses looking to establish themselves in a premium location," Corser adds.

The property is being offered with vacant possession, making it ideal for owner occupation.
