Balmain ‘driveway' set to sell for millions
The block is a rare commodity as a vacant block in Balmain, where houses sell for a median price of $2.46 million.
The 221sqm property is marketed at a price guide of $1.5 million to $2 million.
A similar sale occurred in May when a smaller block in Balmain sold for $1.5 million.
An open inspection was held for the property on Saturday, with listing agent Spencer & Servi director David Servi saying one group of interested buyers turned up.
'Because it's a vacant block of land with a cyclone fence across the front of it, you can see the whole thing from the street,' he said.
'And there's nothing to show them – I can't exactly show them the tennis court or the swimming pool.'
Mr Servi said there had been more interest through inquiries over the phone.
He added that he was not sure of the block's history or why it had not been built on previously.
According to Property.com.au, the land was sold back in 2012 for $765,000, with concept art added in the same year showing plans for a small modern home to be built.
The block has similar frontage to neighbouring properties despite being used as a parking spot for many years.
It's understood the neighbours who have been parking at the space will need to find a new location to park, with the property going to auction on Saturday, August 2.

How the Australian passport ranks among the world's most powerful
The shift reflects changes in how different countries are positioned based on global visa access. The Henley Passport Index ranks passports according to the number of destinations their holders can enter without a visa or with visa-on-arrival access. Although only a dip, it shows how passport rankings can change as countries adjust their travel agreements and visa rules. The biggest rises and falls Australia now shares seventh place with five European nations: Czechia, Hungary, Malta and Poland. Singapore tops the list, ahead of Japan and South Korea in equal second place. A host of countries occupy the third and fourth placings, while New Zealand is in fifth spot, along with Switzerland. The most notable changes have been the United Kingdom and United States. Both were once at the top of the index, with the UK ranking first in 2015 and the US in 2014. Now, the UK sits in sixth place and the US has slipped to 10th, marking a continued downward trend for both countries. The US is now close to falling out of the top 10 for the first time since the index began nearly 20 years ago. Australia has dipped in the rankings and now sits with Malta, Czechia, Hungary and Poland. Source: SBS News What this means for Australian travellers For most people, the fall in ranking will not affect their everyday travel plans. Australians are still able to enter a large number of countries without needing to arrange a visa ahead of time, however, the rankings are a reminder that visa policies can shift over time. A widening global divide While countries at the top of the index continue to enjoy broad travel freedom, those at the bottom face significant restrictions. The gap between the most and least mobile passports remains wide and reflects broader global inequalities in access and opportunity. According to Henley & Partners chair Dr Christian H. Kaelin, global travel access has improved over the past two decades, but not everyone has benefited equally. "The average number of destinations travellers are able to access visa-free has nearly doubled from 58 in 2006 to 111 in 2024, but this improvement has not been experienced equally."

Plenty luxury home breaks suburb record
A showstopping Plenty residence featured on Open Homes Australia has broken a suburb record of $3.775m for an undisclosed price. This was the first time the completed home at 2 Grange Ave, had ever been offered for sale, following its transformation from a vacant block — sold in 2020 — into one of the region's most luxurious private residences. Set on Plenty's exclusive 'Blackwood Acres' estate the completed home at, the home landed ever been offered for sale, following its transformation from a vacant block — sold in 2020 — into one of the region's most luxurious private residences. The previous suburb record was held by 5 Park Ave, Plenty, which sold for $3.775m in May 2023, according to publicly available property records. Jellis Craig Greensborough and Hurstbridge director Aaron Yeats said did not comment on the sale price but told The Herald Sun the home had attracted strong attention since launch, including multiple private inspections and 'very strong digital engagement'. 'It's almost certainly the most expensive home ever offered in Plenty,' Mr Yeats said. 'But it's also the newest and largest, from a build and replacement cost perspective alone, the value is outstanding.' The six-bedroom residence features a curved concrete staircase, soaring six-metre atrium entry, in-floor slab heating, billiards room and outdoor spa among a suite of luxury inclusions. It was previously showcased on Open Homes Australia before landscaping was complete, and has since gained widespread attention across digital platforms including Melbourne House Spotters, Spacecraft and Jellis Craig's internal reach campaign. Social media has further turbocharged the campaign, with Instagram posts from property pages such as Melbourne House Spotters and Million Dollar Listing Melbourne drawing tens of thousands of views, likes and comments. One reel showcasing the dramatic entry and pool view drew a flurry of interest in just days. Mr Yeats said that while the Open Homes appearance wasn't a major focus, the property had 'absolutely benefited from digital momentum'. The owners, who have built several bespoke homes, worked closely with their architect to realise a lifestyle inspired by luxury hotels and international design. 'They love the creative process,' he said. 'The feedback has been phenomenal, and they're genuinely proud of what they've created here.' The main bedroom includes dual dressing rooms, a private retreat and deluxe ensuite, while the kitchen offers stone finishes, premium appliances and a butler's pantry with integrated fridge-freezers. Mr Yeats said the home was ideally suited to a large or multigenerational family seeking 'resort-style living' in a tightly held location. 'You could go on holiday and still not find this level of luxury or amenity,' he said.

Melbourne historic church could fetch $5.5m
A landmark Armadale church linked to a former Victorian premier and coffee house baron has been listed for sale with $5.5m+ price hopes. Wealthy businessman and land owner James Munro laid the heritage-listed Uniting Church's foundation stone in 1886. Mr Munro, who served as Victorian Premier from 1880-1882, purchased the land at 86B Kooyong Rd for the house of worship to be built upon. Designed by the Melbourne architecture firm Terry & Oakden, the Early English Gothic-style church features a nave, transept, apsis, organ, tower and spire, and seven car spaces. The 1438sq m site is also home to an interconnected building that has been converted to an office and is leased out on a short-term basis to a commercial tenant. CVA Property Consultants' managing director Ian Angelico and director Daniel Philip have the General Residential zoned-listing. 'The church is definitely a landmark,' Mr Angelico. 'The architecture is just magnificent, the stained glass windows are absolutely stunning.' He is expecting potential buyers to include community and religious groups, developers and owner-occupiers. 'There is scope to develop because of the very high ceilings, that would be subject to planning approval and the building would have to remain intact because of its heritage status,' Mr Angelico said. 'It could also possibly become an auction house or something similar.' Stonnington Council heritage documents state that the church is of historical significance for reasons including its association with Mr Munro. Alongside his political career and many business interests, he established several coffee palaces – accommodation and dining venues that did not serve alcohol – in locations including Melbourne, Geelong and Broken Hill in the 1800s. He was a partner in a company that bought Spring St's Grand Hotel, later Hotel Windsor, and turned it into a coffee palace. The church is 220m from Armadale train station and on the corner of High St's shopping strip. A post on the church's website stated that 'the hard decision to close' was made due the congregation's declining numbers and finances needed to support a minister and other expenses across the next five years. A church spokesperson said their last service was held in May, with congregation members joining other nearby places of worship including the Toorak Uniting Church. The Armadale site has roots going back to 1876 with the establishment of a Sunday school by the then-Toorak Presbyterian Church.
