Restore Art Deco Glory or Develop

This property is all about perspective. Some will see a glorious Californian Bungalow ready to restore to its former glory – rich in the character of sash leadlight windows, decorative ceilings, and a front porch with tapered columns – all distinctions of the art deco period. Others will note the flat rectangular 671sqms (approx.) of DD08 zoned land and envision new town homes or apartments right at the very heart of Blackburn, a 15min walk to the train station, in the coveted school zone for Blackburn Primary and Blackburn High School (STSA), with connections from the city to the coast via the Eastern Fwy and Eastlink.

Whatever your vision, this is a rare opportunity for a prime Whitehorse Rd location – exclusive for the chance to renovate an original Californian Bungalow and transform its extension to a stunning open plan design infused with north facing light. The existing floor plan offers the traditional front lounge with beautiful ceiling rosettes, picture rails and timber floors under the carpet, with 2 generous sized bedrooms serviced by a central bathroom, a corner kitchen and adjoining dining room, and an add-on bedroom, rumpus and utility room.

A blank canvas yard and a flat rectangular block facing north at the rear, also opens up exciting potential for units and multi-storey apartments (STCA) in this vibrant activity hub of retail, restaurants, and car dealerships – a short drive to the recently upgraded Blackburn Square, bustling Box Hill Central and its melting pot of Asian cuisine, Forest Hill Chase and Cinema, and in walking distance to Blackburn train station, the South Pde café strip, and the beautiful bushland reserve and lakeside walking circuit of Blackburn Lake Sanctuary.
