This once gorgeous five-bedroom clinker brick home is set on an acre comprising a colourful north facing garden full of surprises. With a sealed driveway and dual road frontage it is in a great location with Kalorama Park, tennis courts, kids' playground, and the Karawara gardens just past the rear boundary. Five minutes from the Montrose township and in the opposite direction five minutes to the Dandenong Ranges villages makes this the perfect lifestyle location. This property offers an amazing hills lifestyle with its private secluded setting, bush walks, and native fauna all on your doorstep. The only problem is its storm damaged and needs substantial repairs.
Ideal for the builder, chippy, tradesman, or project manager to invest in and reap the capital rewards once completed, this is a large project, not for the faint hearted. On offer is a rare opportunity to add value in its existing context or reimagine it to suit your own taste and style.
The pre-damaged home was built to a high-level using clinker bricks, high ceilings, quality timber polished boards, western red cedar windows, French doors, grand open fireplace, and brick/cement piers. It was a true multi-generational home with an apartment built in for teenage kids or Mum and Dad. The home comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens (one undamaged) 3 living spaces and double garage. The damage is mostly confined to the middle of the home with both ends still in good order although carpet has been removed.
The home was struck by trees straight down the middle in the June 2021 storms. The damage is significant, and the project will require new ceiling trusses, roofing, flooring to damaged areas, plaster work and a new kitchen.
The property is being sold as is. We do not have a statement of works so you will have to make your own enquiries in relation repair costs. If you are up for a challenge this may be the one. Rebuild your new family home or make a profit. The choice is yours.
We ask that you do not go on the property without an agent as this is still someones property and we ask you respect that.
