Elsternwick: Tennis court block served up with multimillion-dollar asking range
The two tennis courts at 16 Murray St, Elsternwick, have been served up for sale.
Two side-by-side Elsternwick tennis courts have hit the market with a grand slam-worthy $3.8m-$4m asking range.
The 1022sq m block of land at 16 Murray St has been listed with plans for a mid-century style house designed by Fitzroy-based architecture practice Kennedy Nolan, that could potentially be built at the site.
Alternatively, the listing mentions a buyer could look to further subdivide, subject to council approval.

The courts are being sold through an expressions of interest campaign managed by BigginScott’s Daniel Ashton.
The property’s online listing states that it’s one street away from Glen Huntly Rd’s cafes and the no. 67 tram route, and is also within easy walking distance of schools and parklands.
The $3.8m+ price tag is double Elsternwick’s $1.845m median house price, according to PropTrack.
A local church sold the tennis court site about two years ago, and a spokesperson from a tennis academy that formerly used the courts said they stopped lessons there about the same time.
Plans for mid-century style house designed by architecture studio Kennedy Nolan are being sold with the land block.
The address is 12km from Melbourne’s CBD.
It’s not the first time a tennis court – or two – have been listed for sale in Melbourne recently.
A 3576sq m property at 2 Caraar Creek Lane, Mornington, featuring a clifftop tennis court was put on the market in 2024. It was initially priced at $7.5m-$8.2m.
Boasting Port Phillip Bay views and located within walking distance of Mills Beach, coastal walking trails and Mornington Golf Course, the site is still on the market with a $7.5m price tag.
McEwing & Partners’ directors Quentin McEwing and Marcus Gollings have the listing.
