7 Ashlar Crescent, Blackburn, Vic 3130

A poignant history rests on this significant property in central Blackburn. Built in 1954, its been a musicians paradise for the talented brass musician who raised his family here, a man known to the locals of this picturesque Oak-lined street for the Christmas carols he played on his beloved cornet. In its deteriorated state, it seems the fitting tribute for the character weatherboard is The Last Post as a new beginning unfolds for the coveted 800 (approx) sqm site on Cootamundra Walk. Set opposite Elder St and the surrounding streets of this elite and leafy pocket, this is a rare opportunity to totally overhaul a longstanding home with period features like sash windows, Baltic Pine floorboards and a combustion oven, or build a contemporary showpiece that puts you within walking distance of North Blackburn Square, Blackburn Primary, Blackburn High School (and its exceptional music program), and the train station. A north-facing backyard and deep flat block add to the tremendous appeal of this vintage residence named Preston Wynne by its one and only owner.
