A $100,000 storage in a extremely wanted Melbourne suburb is being marketed to hopeful first-home consumers as a possible studio condo, even attracting worldwide curiosity.
The 55sq metre storage on Grey St, St Kilda has sparked the curiosity of many potential consumers whose visions vary from storage areas to humble abodes.
Listing agent Andrew Turner from Jellis Craig stated he had no less than 50 folks examine the property on Wednesday alone.
“The majority were definitely first-home buyers without a doubt, wanting to convert it into a studio apartment or beachside pad,” Mr Turner stated.
“I had a couple of car enthusiasts wanting to build classic cars there, a couple wanting to have it purely for storage, and some people in the development space that could be interested because it’s the only garage to nine art deco apartments.”
The industrial decor hasn’t appeared to place anybody off both, with Mr Turner receiving curiosity from potential consumers throughout the globe.
“We’ve had so much interest, I’ve got somebody from Alice Springs coming to have a look at it, Queensland as well,” he stated.
“I’ve even had an inquiry from Poland.”
Mr Turner stated that with the common Melbourne studio condo starting from 45 to 50sq m, this was a uncommon “needle in a haystack” itemizing.
“It absolutely has enough space … these opportunities don’t arise very often and they’re hard to find when you’re talking about properties for $100,000,” he stated.
“It could be an opportunity to get into the market, it’s a blank space, and particularly location-wise being in a vibrant suburb like St Kilda.
“In the hands of the right architect or planner … there is a possibility of really transforming this into a home.”
The Grey St storage will go to public sale on February 25.
