11 Alandale Road, Blackburn, Vic 3130

Situated in the quiet, leafy heart of Blackburn and with Blackburn Lake Sanctuary at the end of the street (less than 200m), this 3 bedroom 1 bathroom late 1950’s/early 1960’s home sits on a deep block of approximately 858sqm with a north/south aspect making it a very attractive proposition as a new home site. The vendor has recognised this potential and is offering the property for sale with fully approved plans and permits for a substantial architect-designed 4 bedroom or 3 bedroom plus study family home that includes master with WIR and ensuite, kitchen with butler’s pantry and very generously proportioned living/dining room opening onto a large rear deck.

The superb location of this property means the major thoroughfares of Blackburn and Canterbury Roads are quickly accessed putting Blackburn’s retail precinct, as well as South Blackburn shops and Forest Hill Chase within easy reach. The property sits within the zone for Blackburn Lake Primary School, and is also close to St Thomas The Apostle School and Laburnum Primary School. Further more, it is within walking distance to the train station and Morton Park, virtually next to the Gardiners Creek Trail, and easily connects to Whitehorse Road and all the major retail outlets along it.

The existing residence is largely in original condition and presents as a solid renovation opportunity for those keen on the features of the era. Comprising 3 double bedrooms (2 with built-in robes), formal living room with adjoining study both with front veranda and garden outlooks, original tiled bathroom with separate bath and shower, the original kitchen with timber cabinetry, tiled benchtops and walk-in pantry and the feature of a large servery window opening onto the family room at the rear which in turn flows out onto a wide and elevated deck which overlooks a deep and enchanting rear garden.


Other features include bespoke desk and shelving in the study, gas wall heaters in the living and family rooms, polished hardwood flooring, beautiful front and rear gardens, cubby house, 2 garden sheds, and open-space parking for 2 cars.
In addition, all the water that runs from the roof fills an 11,000-litre water tank (with pump) for the gardening. The home has been completely rewired, re-stumped and fully insulated.
