5 Ripon Court, Forest Hill, Vic 3131

Built by the vendor some 50 years ago, this 3 bedroom home in a peaceful cul-de-sac was ahead of its time when constructed and has been thoughtfully updated over the years. The bright lounge room with a stone mantle continues to a well-appointed kitchen with a stainless steel gas cooktop, dishwasher and wall oven, surrounded by a meals area that flows out to a covered alfresco patio with built-in seating. Three carpeted bedrooms with built-in robes and a study share a split bathroom with separate shower and toilet. A fantastic rumpus room/teenage bedroom with electricity and plumbing lies under the house, adding valuable extra space! The vast backyard boasts thriving gardens, sheds and a pool. Further highlights: gas ducted heating, ducted vacuum, split system air conditioning and hardwood timber floors under the carpet. With a wide street frontage of 24.68m and land size of 1349sq m approximately, this peaceful allotment may suit a large new home, dual occupancy or multi-unit redevelopment, or unleash your vision and further renovate or extend the home (all STCA). The home is beautiful as is, with potential to be earning a rental return while you prepare for the next phase. Walk to Blackburn Lake Sanctuary and Primary School, nearby amenities include: buses and schools, Nunawading station and EastLink access, with convenient shopping at Brentford Square and Forest Hill Chase.
