You can tell instantly from its high rising position, that this 706sqms (approx.) gateway location offers solid foundations to build on. With its impressive frontage facing east towards the mountains, the long-held address is currently home to a blonde brick 3-bedroom charmer, still in excellent original condition for potential to lease out while you consider its future direction. The elegant mid-century design features grand verandahs – both front and back – and a light-filled living space framed by a pelmet top corner window. Expect all the retro style of frosted glass doors, a slate surround open fireplace, wood panelled walls and in-built dressing table in the master bedroom. Among the updates is an upright cooker, gas central heating, and wall mounted air con. This is a superb position for a stunning new family home or town house development (STSA) – a bus trip away from Blackburn train station and Burwood One Plaza, and in the school catchment for Blackburn Primary and Forest Hill College (STSA). With only a few fruit trees in the rear garden, and such a generous high rising block, there's real vision here for an exciting overhaul in one of the most central parts of Blackburn, spoilt for shopping choice, local parkland including beautiful Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, with main bus, train and tram connections including to Monash and Deakin Universities, and the CBD.
