A stunning converted 19th century church at 34 Howe Crescent, South Melbourne.
A South Melbourne landmark since 1874, this former congregational church has more recently been used as a photography studio and a private home set against a landscaped garden backdrop featuring dual garages. Architect Simon Swaney renovated the property in 2001, creating living, dining and entertaining areas, accompanied by a contemporary kitchen with a huge butler's pantry and substantial cellar. The property now has at least four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a range of study, office and recreation domains. Expressions of interest close March 23. The asking price is above $8 million.
