This is one of those properties that excites for all the possibilities. One of the golden oldies of the district, the 3-bedroom blonde brick veneer presents as a sweet retreat, retaining its high ceilings and hardwood floors, and adding a refreshed granite and lime washed timber kitchen and versatile 2nd living room. It's an absolute charmer with potential for further renovation, and ideal as a first home or investment property with the rental appeal of 2 covered decks, gas central heating and split system cooling. For young families wanting a renovation project, the home is perfectly comfortable with 2 separate living areas, mature fruit trees in the back garden and a door that opens directly to the neighbouring Koonung Creek Trail. For developers, the site is ripe for renewal as a 587sqms (approx.) flat rectangular block with no big trees, set in the school catchment for Kerrimuir Primary and Koonung Secondary College (STSA), north facing at the rear to attract light-filled open plan living in a new build (STCA). What a special location in the 'Blue Ribbon' inner east – a backdrop of parkland that's like an invitation for daily bush walks, with proximity to excellent public and private schools, in walking distance to Asian restaurants at Box Hill Central, a 5min drive to Box Hill hospital and Westfield Doncaster, and a gateway location near the Eastern Fwy, Box Hill train station and the tram line through Balwyn, Kew and onto the city.
