Overview

Mar Lodge Character, Charm and Possibility

Set on a prominent corner allotment in the tightly held Mar Lodge Estate, this character-filled Californian Bungalow occupies 566 sqm (approx.) of blue-chip land, combining timeless charm, generous outdoor space, and exciting future potential in one of the North’s most prestigious residential pockets. Timber decking at the entry, framed by lush greenery, sets the tone for what’s inside – a warm, soulful residence with rich period detail and timeless street appeal. The layout includes three bedrooms (main with fireplace and leafy front yard and street outlook), a central bathroom with shower over bath, and a spacious lounge and dining area with its own fireplace, flowing into a central kitchen ready for modern updates. Timber floorboards line the home throughout, feeling warm and cosy. Step outside to discover brick paving, a handy shed, and a spacious backyard framed by established greenery and that striking jacaranda tree – a standout feature with undeniable presence. There’s ample scope to enhance or extend (STCA), while the solid foundations and heritage overlay provide long-term appeal for families and character-home lovers alike. A bus stop on the doorstep and just a short stroll to Thompson Reserve, Keilor Road trams, the vibrant village precinct of cafés, bars and restaurants, with nearby specialty stores, major supermarkets, quality schools, childcare and kinder options. With DFO and CityLink close by, it’s a blue-chip location that delivers lifestyle, convenience and connection. An exceptional opportunity to secure timeless elegance and future potential in the heart of Mar Lodge.
