22 The Avenue

Blackburn VIC 3130

This is a rare opportunity to take your place along not simply one of Blackburn's most iconic streets, but on a prime north facing corner of The Avenue and Laurel Grove - with an auspicious 888sqms (approx.) near level rectangular site just 500metres from Blackburn Station and shopping village.

The heartland position in this cherished tree-lined enclave is zoned for Laburnum Primary and Box Hill High School (STSA) and has you immersed in the idyllic bushland surrounds of Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, the Gardiners Creek Trail, Furness Park and the Wandinong Sanctuary - nature reserves that have earned Blackburn a reputation as one of the darlings of Melbourne's leafy east.

As it stands, the property houses a 5-bedroom brick veneer with a refreshed timber top kitchen, 2 living areas and 2 bathrooms - with grand windows drawing in abundant natural light into the home.

The sprawling single level design separates its bedrooms from the living space and wraps the residence in magnificent outdoor entertaining - with a deck to the master bedroom, and a paved outdoor room equipped with mains gas BBQ connection, a pitch roofed pergola and cafe blinds.

A separate studio has its own power, ideal as artist quarters or as an exercise retreat for yoga, pilates or meditation. But the most obvious potential here is to reinvigorate this prime corner with a vision for a stunning new family home (STCA) that would have you right at the heart of Blackburn and its serene green district, a stroll away from cafes and coffee spots, an 30min train ride from the city and a 30min drive to the coast via Eastlink.
