640 Barkly Street,
West Footscray, VIC 3012

Plonk yourself right in the heart of the WeFo action with this rarer-than-hens-teeth opportunity to purchase an iconic business and residential property. Situated on the corner of buzzing Barkly and picturesque Elphinstone Streets, this is your chance to secure the best of both worlds, with the spacious, light-filled shopfront downstairs commanding attention from passing foot and drive-by traffic, and an updated, move-right-in apartment upstairs. Whether you make it your home with the security of the reliable, long-term business tenant downstairs or you rent the apartment out - this is a chance homeowners and investors alike will kick themselves if missed. Wake up in the master bedroom to views of the city skyline, roll across the street for a first-class coffee from Post Industrial Design, take a short stroll for lunch at Dumbo, and while away the evenings in the private, landscaped north-facing courtyard, complete with grassed area and paved undercover entertaining space. Heading into the city? Leave the car locked securely in the double garage and take the easy fifteen-minute walk to West Footscray station. Kids? They'll love it here too. Scoot to the playground, walk to school at Footscray West Primary, or catch the tram to Footscray High. This address is in a highly coveted school zone actively sought out by families.
