Morning coffee footsteps away, the train into the city five minutes later, groceries picked up on the walk home and Blackburn’s leafy parks waiting when you need a little green space. At 1/13 Main Street, life runs on foot. Set on the ground floor in the very heart of Blackburn Station Village, this bright two-bedroom unit puts cafés, shops, the library, Pilates, the gym, salons and everyday essentials virtually at the doorstep.
For first-home buyers, it is a chance to swap rent for ownership in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held eastern suburbs without taking on garden maintenance. For investors, the station-side location and famously low-maintenance format make plenty of sense. And for professional couples, the ability to walk to express trains, grab dinner locally and leave the car parked could quickly become the new normal.
Inside, freshly painted interiors feel bright, comfortable and ready to enjoy. Polished timber floors bring warmth to the living area, while split-system heating and cooling keeps things comfortable through the seasons.
The separately zoned kitchen enjoys a surprisingly generous footprint, with plenty of natural light, good storage and a gas upright cooker. It is neat and completely functional as it stands, while leaving scope to introduce a more contemporary finish down the track if inspiration strikes.
Two bedrooms are tucked away from the living zone and both include built-in robes, with the central bathroom completing the practical layout.
There may be no private courtyard to weed, deck to oil or lawn demanding your Saturday morning, but that is rather the point. Furness Park, Morton Park, Blacks Walk, Blackburn Creeklands and Blackburn Lake Sanctuary provide all the greenery you could want, while the Village itself becomes an extension of home.
A single car space is included, although with Blackburn Station around a five-minute walk away and cafés, gift shops, fresh produce, fitness and community facilities all close at hand, the keys may spend considerably more time on the hook.
Zoned for Blackburn Primary and Box Hill High*, this is a wonderfully accessible entry into a prized Blackburn lifestyle. Comfortable now, easy to enhance later and exceptionally low maintenance, it gives you the freedom to spend less time looking after where you live and more time enjoying everything outside the front door.
