3 Eden Street, Croydon, Vic 3136

Much loved by the one family for the past 33 years, it’s now time for a new family to enjoy all that’s on offer within this fantastic property. This classic weatherboard home boasts a traditional bullnose verandah and a commanding street presence.

Situated on a prime allotment of 838sqm approx. there is generous family accommodation as well as an expansive yard; a rare combination these days. The home is well zoned for comfortable living and offers gas ducted heating, high ceilings, decorative cornices and timber floors.

To the left of the entry there are three bedrooms; each is light filled and two have built-in robes. They share the use of an updated central bathroom. To the right of the entry is a bright living room where an open fireplace with a brick surround and rich timber mantle make an attractive focal point. This flows through to a fully renovated kitchen where stone benchtops, subway tiling, a built-in wine fridge and a stainless-steel upright cooktop and oven combine seamlessly to create an appealing contemporary space. Adjoining this is a dining/family room with floor to ceiling windows that allow wonderful vistas to the fabulous backyard.

In the warmer weather you’ll love leisure time in the large in-ground pool with an adjoining spa, whilst in the cooler months you’ll enjoy basking in the warmth of the winter sun that shines through the expanses of glass. Adding further appeal is a freestanding bungalow with an ensuite bathroom, a large living/bedroom space and independent heating and cooling. This provides flexible options as a home office or business base, a teenage retreat, a pool house or perhaps as a source of rental income; the choice is yours. Alternatively, you may want to utilise the substantial allotment for other projects.

There is scope to extend the existing dwelling, to build a second property at the rear, or to start from scratch and execute your next dual occupancy project here. It could also make a great place to build your new forever family home (STCA).

The location heightens the appeal. In close proximity to popular schools including Ainslie Parklands Primary, Melba College, Tintern Grammar, Yarra Valley Grammar and Luther College, local buses with rail links, Aquahub, the Mullum Mullum Creek trail and a number of open green spaces including Ainslie Park with its many sporting clubs. Popular shopping precincts including Burnt Bridge, the recently renovated Eastland and Chirnside Park Shopping Centre are within easy reach, as is Eastlink and the Eastern Freeway to the west, and the Yarra Valley and all its delights to the east.

This exciting property offers a range of options and should be carefully considered by all astute property buyers and families looking for a place to write their next chapters. Don’t live with regret; inspect without delay.
