86 Whitehorse Rd, Blackburn is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1950. The property has a land size of 951m2 and floor size of 147m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2021.
Positioned on one of Melbourne's most tightly held development corridors, this is the opportunity serious developers have been waiting for. With every box already ticked, all that remains is to build.
Set on a flat, regular 951sqm (approx.) allotment with an impressive 18.9m frontage, this north-facing site in the Residential Growth Zone comes fully equipped with approved plans and permits for six architecturally designed townhouses. Traffic management, arboricultural assessment, town planning, landscape plans and WSUD reports - the full suite of documentation is in place. The hard work is done.
The current residence has a three-bedroom weatherboard character home - tenanted and returning holding income - featuring two living zones, central kitchen, bathroom, laundry and single garage.
Walkable to both Blackburn and Laburnum train stations, the site sits at the heart of a suburb undergoing genuine transformation. Nearby comparable townhouse developments at 74 Whitehorse Road and 40 Whitehorse Road demonstrate the proven demand and established precedent for this exact development. The Blackburn Village Shopping Precinct, the newly extended Blackburn North Square, the Eastern Freeway, and a choice of leading schools - Blackburn Primary, Blackburn High and Box Hill High - are all within easy reach.
Opportunities like this - where the risk has been removed and the runway is clear - are genuinely rare on Whitehorse Road. Whether this is your first development or your next, the fundamentals don't get much stronger.
