Overview

This unique property in Blackburn presents the rare advantage of two residences on a substantial 953sqm allotment, offering remarkable flexibility for families, investors, or future redevelopment prospects. Situated on a wide 17.4-meter frontage, the site accommodates a traditional front residence that requires significant renovation and a newer, well-maintained rear dwelling. This dual setup caters to multigenerational living or income-generating opportunities, leveraging the existing buildings while permitting scope for enhancement subject to council approval.

The rear residence shines with a spacious, naturally-lit living and dining area, underpinned by a practical kitchen featuring stone benchtops, a breakfast bar, dishwasher, and freestanding gas cooker—ideal for comfortable daily living. Outdoors, a covered alfresco area and a generous, established backyard create inviting environments for relaxation and entertaining, complemented by an extensive driveway, secure garage, and ample additional off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

Positioned in a convenient locale, the property benefits from proximity to reputable schools including Blackburn High and multiple primary schools, shopping precincts at Blackburn Square and Kerrimuir, as well as recreational spaces like Blackburn Lake Sanctuary. Connectivity is enhanced by nearby train stations, bus services along Middleborough Road, and easy access to the Eastern Freeway, facilitating efficient commutes and lifestyle amenities. This offering is well-suited to families seeking space and versatility or investors aiming to capitalize on the property's potential.
