Raphael Houston proudly presents... Appropriately named - as the property sits on a street abutting Parker Reserve and leading onto Merri Creek parkland - the setting in which this property finds itself provides the perfect backdrop, whether seen from a restoration angle or a development point-of-view. Its weatherboard facade speaks to an earlier era that remains irresistible in the face of more modern styles. Internal features include picture rails, engraved cornices, original flooring, high ceilings, and solid timber architraves. Those who so desire will find the property amenable to a range of restorative approaches. Classically comfortable and perfectly hospitable, the property indulges with a series of spacious rooms for living, dining, and entertaining, positioned between front and rear outdoor arenas set among low-maintenance gardens. Along with a secure double garage with workshop is generous off-street parking. The area sets clear development precedence. One can either subdivide and build a new townhouse at the back while restoring the original home, build two properties anew, renovate the existing home, or develop a new luxury home site. Many opportunities exist on this versatile landholding (STCA). From here, walk the trail to Pentridge SC and beyond to the inner-north. Moments from Merlynston station village and Sydney Road trams, live within close reach of parks, sports grounds, and leading local schools.
