5 Lydia Street, Bentleigh, Vic 3204

Make history in one of the McKinnon Secondary College Zone's best streets. The original landholding property of the area, this approx 7308sqft/678sqm estate offers an enchanting c.1907 Victorian home, a sweeping 58ft/17.68m frontage... and historic potential for families and developers alike!

Appreciate the value of the existing renovation to this wide-verandahed three bedroom, two bathroom, dual zone home and take the next step to create one of the Zone's most beautiful period homes when you're ready. Already re-plastered, re-wired and upgraded with a classic kitchen, kitchenette and quality bathrooms, this enchanting block-fronted home opens up beyond a cobalt and ruby glass entry to offer lofty deep-corniced ceilings (one with a unique "dome" as part of a later 1920's update), beautiful Baltic Pine boards and magnificent original fireplaces.

Ideal for a modern family living with a gracious formal lounge, relaxed family living and a sitting-room ready to double as third bedroom, the home is centrally heated and cooled with a separate teenager retreat/games-room, plentiful parking on a wide drive and a family-wise position within a walk of the College, McKinnon Reserve and Centre Rd and Tucker Rd transport.

Alternatively, see the potential for multiple dwellings on this prime site (subject to Council Approval). Surrounded by high-quality homes in a low-traffic locale, this big broad site offers exceptional scope for streetfront development...or a dual-occupancy project incorporating the existing home.
