Upon a level block of 1060 sq m (approximately) and walking distance to Blackburn South shops and buses, this 3 bedroom cream brick home presents a dilemma - renovate or redevelop? Like the neighbouring properties, this allotment can accommodate 3 new townhouses (STCA). The classic home boasts the character features of high ceilings with decorative cornices and picture rails and hardwood floors. Three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes also share an original 1950s bathroom with a separate shower, bath and pedestal sink. The traditional formal lounge and dining area with sash windows adjoins the original dine-in kitchen with gas cooking, the home warmed by ducted heating. A spacious rumpus room frames the deck through north-facing windows with an open fireplace, split system, kitchenette and an ensuite bathroom. A generous entertaining deck overlooks the deep backyard with a garage/workshop and near-new fencing. In a position of excellent convenience, walk to local shops and restaurants, while enjoying handy nearby amenities including Laburnum primary school, Kalang and Furness Parks, buses, train stations and Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, plus Forest Hill Chase. Modernise this home at your leisure or re-develop this large, well-positioned block in favour of up to 3 new townhouses (STCA).
