Overview

Grace, grandeur and family-sized freedom with plans and permits included

Tucked away behind an enchanting picket fence and sweeping circular drive - complete with a hedged water feature that feels like a nod to a more gracious time this character-rich Croydon beauty is your opportunity to live large on a generous 1161m² (approx.) parcel of land. And with approved permits to build four townhouses, it’s also a rare chance to future-proof your investment in a prime pocket with serious development potential. Warm timber floors guide you through high-ceilinged spaces where picture rails, sash windows, and dado panelling nod to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A formal lounge at the front, complete with an elegant fireplace, offers a quiet escape, while the open-plan family, dining and kitchen zone invites relaxed togetherness, warmed by a toasty combustion fire and framed by garden views. The skylit kitchen is a true showstopper: think Belling 900mm multi-oven and gas cooktop, a deep farmhouse sink, butcherblock benchtops, a glass splashback, and all the country-style charm you could ask for to make things both pretty and practical. Two ground-floor bedrooms (including the main) and a central bathroom offer flexibility for guests, teens, or multi-generational needs, with a toilet and basin off the well-equipped laundry adding convenience. Upstairs, three more bedrooms – one with a sweet window seat perfect for bookish daydreams - are serviced by a stylish bathroom with twin vanity. French doors lead you outside to a backyard built for connection and celebration: from a pergola-covered dining area to an enclosed rumpus/games room with its own wood fire and display shelving for your prized drops, to the stately palm tree as the centrepiece - it’s the ultimate indoor-outdoor entertainer. The fully fenced yard, dotted with garden sheds and shaded zones including a gazebo, gives kids, pets and grown-ups alike space to relax and breathe. Extras include evaporative cooling, ducted heating, ceiling fans, abundant off street parking and more. And the location? As convenient as it is connected. Within walking distance to local shops, cafes, schools and parks, plus moments from Croydon Station, Eastland, Eastlink, and the spectacular Yarra Valley - this is where lifestyle meets legacy in the most charming way. Whether you’re a growing family craving room to roam, an investor eyeing future rewards, or a developer ready to capitalise on approved plans, this one has space, soul, and a little bit of magic.
