5 Hawson Avenue, Glen Huntly, Vic 3163

A terracotta tiled roof, timber fretwork on the verandah, dormer windows, and leadlight in the front windows all speak of the Edwardian beginnings of this home. It is a period when construction values were strong and when homes were solid and built to last.
This is a home with heaps of character and plenty of options for its future. Rent it out as it is right now; renovate it perhaps (there is brilliant scope here); or redevelop the choice allotment (approx 744sqm).
The floorplan really is flexible. For example there are up to 5 bedrooms (with 2 upstairs) and a bathroom on each floor. There are several living rooms including a lounge room and an informal living room/rumpus room with A/C and a door directly to the private rear garden. If you need a formal dining room there is a delightful room that could also become a comfortable study or bedroom. The separate kitchen has ample storage. Timber floorboards, and several attractive open fireplaces (as well as ducted heating) are featured.
This property is handy to all the amenities of Glenhuntly Road - trams, trains, shops, and cafes - and it is also in the Caulfield South Primary School zone, near reserves, recreation and buses as well as being convenient to Glen Eira Secondary College and Monash Uni (Caulfield).
