Overview

Positioned for Growth, Built for Returns

Set on an expansive 940sqm (approx.) allotment, this is a landholding of exceptional scale and limitless potential. Whether you're envisioning a multi-townhouse development (STCA) or crafting a forever home in a blue-chip setting, the possibilities are as impressive as the address. Inside, timeless character meets everyday comfort. A welcoming living room centred around a feature fireplace with built-in shelving flows effortlessly into the adjoining family room, creating versatile spaces for relaxed living and entertaining. Five generous bedrooms enhance flexibility and rental appeal, with three positioned at the front of the home and two privately located at the rear. The main bedroom enjoys direct bathroom access, while a second bathroom with a separate shower comfortably services the remaining accommodation. Decorative cornices and polished timber floorboards add warmth and enduring charm throughout. Yet it's the land that truly sets this property apart. Beyond the existing residence unfolds an extraordinary 940sqm (approx.) backyard—a remarkable expanse rarely offered in today's tightly held Burwood market, presenting the perfect canvas for future transformation. Positioned just moments from Deakin University, the home enjoys enduring appeal for owner-occupiers, investors and tenants alike, supported by consistently strong rental demand. Burwood One Shopping Centre is just minutes away, delivering major retailers, dining options and everyday conveniences, while the picturesque Gardiners Creek Trail offers an enviable lifestyle with kilometres of walking and cycling paths through lush parklands. Families will appreciate zoning for the highly regarded Essex Heights Primary School and Ashwood High School, while trams along Burwood Highway provide direct access to Melbourne's CBD and multiple bus routes ensure effortless local connectivity. Opportunities of this calibre are becoming increasingly scarce. Secure a significant landholding in one of Melbourne's most sought-after growth corridors and capitalise on immediate rental income, outstanding redevelopment potential (STCA), or the chance to build an exceptional future in a location renowned for long-term capital growth. Combining substantial land, premium positioning, university proximity and outstanding development prospects, this is a rare offering that delivers exceptional value today—and even greater potential for tomorrow.
