With a world of convenience at your door and a magnificent 536sqm (approx.) allotment destined to be developed now or in the future (STCA), this potential-rich home is, quite clearly, dressed for success! The chance to subdivide the sizeable allotment and develop with city views (STCA) is an enticing option for the astute developer, but the great thing about this property is you don't have to decide its fate straight away. In fact, given its perfectly liveable state and presence of split-system heating and cooling, gas ducted heating, spacious bedrooms and remote security window shutters, you could lease it for an attractive return whilst plans and permits are being approved or begin your next chapter of family memories here and develop at a later date.
For the homebuyer keen to settle down for the future, you have an excellent chance to make your mark with this tightly-held, single-level residence by reinvigorating the walls with splashes of contemporary colour, introducing modern appliances to the big and bright kitchen and adding a luxurious touch to the central family bathroom. Its period charm is showcased through the polished timber floorboards underfoot and soaring high ceilings that accentuate space and height throughout, while a light-filled formal lounge extends onto an adjacent formal dining to create a flowing living space.
A second outdoor kitchen with a generous meals/living space is perfect during those large gatherings held in the easy-care backyard, and when it's not being used for entertaining purposes, it serves as a fantastic retreat for the privacy-craving teenager or accommodation quarters for the extended family. What's also sure to attract a host of buyers is the opportunity to live within moments of Sydney Rd and Lygon St trams, Brunswick train station, schools, parks, trendy eateries and the CBD. What an opportunity!
