140-142 Mcivor Road

Strathdale VIC 3550

Situated in the affluent and highly sought after McIvor Hill precinct is this original yet timeless 1970’s family home that has stood the test of time. Sited on a large parcel of land measuring over half an acre (2279m2) and set amongst established trees offering privacy and a buffer from surrounding properties, the home is truly worthy of an extensive renovation to give it a new lease of life. Or, for the more savvy minded, the location and size of the block lends itself to subdivision and substantial redevelopment for a multi, high end townhouse site!

The existing home has many original features, endearing it to lovers of the period. It has been well loved and looked after through the years, being cherished by the one and only family since its construction. It is very livable for now whilst you decide what to do, and appears as solid as a rock structurally. Those in the know will welcome the fact that homes from this era bear a resemblance to many design elements that are popular in modern architecture, making it easier to work with when renovating or extending.

Boasting a spacious family sized floor plan that begins with four internal bedrooms (or three + study), each with their own built in robes or cabinetry, whilst he master bedroom has an ensuite, split system unit and access to a private outdoor sitting area. There is a family bathroom in terrific order that has a separate shower room – a design feature that is very practical in avoiding queue’s in the morning household rush! The large formal lounge is a real highlight, boasting a stunning open fire place as the centrepiece, lovely big windows and wallpaper that would be considered trendy right now! The kitchen forms part of the open plan section of the home which also incorporates the dining and informal second living area. The kitchen is as original as they come, and the appliances will need upgrading as soon as possible. There is good space to work with and lots of options for linking it to a stunning outdoor entertaining area outside. The laundry lies off the kitchen and completes the internal layout.
