 AFL legend David Parkin, and his brother Des, a medical researcher, are selling the Hawthorn home that his belonged to the Parkin family for five generations.
The five-bedroom rendered bungalow at 39 Denham Street is located directly opposite St James Park where the Parkin boys perfected their football, cricket, and lawn bowling skills.
Currently configured as a three bedroom house, with formal and informal dining areas, the 1920s dwelling includes many original features such as a panelled entrance foyer, leadlights, open fire places, beamed ceilings and timber floors.
Alternatively, given it is on a 643 square metre block and with the potential to offer park and city views, a developer may eye the site for a medium or high density apartment project.
It’s not uncommon for Hawthorn apartments to fetch about $1.6 million – which is the price being quoted for this home.
Marshall White Armadale’s Peter Mitchell will auction 39 Denham Street at 11:30am on Saturday July 24.
