60s Foundations with Retro Flair on a Glorious 2945m2 - Renovate or Extend (STCA)

This robust, characterful 60s era home with a sizable soul is filled with promise and a retro flair that will have your creative juices flowing. Presented without pretence but loaded with opportunity on a prime 2945m2 allotment, this double brick charmer has a “flawless foundations” feel and could become something spectacular with a little imagination and foresight. Raked ceilings, dark timber accents, a grand brick fireplace, exposed brick and a family bathroom with its “everything old is new again” tiles and mid-century pop of colour mean you can roll with the current floorplan and add some contemporary touches or opt for a sympathetic and exciting new footprint. The opportunity is not debatable.

You Will Love:

• The sweeping driveway entrance framed by an original stone wall leading to a forecourt and double garage.
• The huge open-plan lounge/dining that defined the era. The Carpenters would have been on repeat as you gathered around the toasty wood fire back in the day.
• Spending time on the majestic open-air deck entertaining in every season among the lush treetops.
• The funky kitchen with classic breakfast bar that once upon a time was in vogue. You can imagine the hors d'oeuvres prepared here!
• How a master with ensuite and walk robe is separately zoned at the front of the home.
• The vast under house rumpus/fourth bedroom zone which would make an ideal teen retreat, man-cave, home business/studio or in-law accommodation. Check out the funky wood panel feature wall!
• Secure under-house storage room.
• The rare flat lawn area that will be a haven for child’s play or sitting around the fire pit.
• The potential for streaming sunlight and views of Silvan Reservoir with a little strategic tree clearing (STCA).
• Breathing in nature and surrounding yourself with an array of flora, fauna and birdlife in the breathtaking gardens.
• Rear side entrance via a communal ROW.

Only a few minutes’ drive from Sky High for unbeatable views of Melbourne, walking distance to Destiny Point Café for your morning latte, Silvan Dam lookout and the #688 bus stop and a commutable distance from Melbourne CBD make this home a desirable blend of lifestyle, location, and abundant potential.
