Located in Croydon North's tightly held Birts Hill pocket, where leafy streets, quiet surrounds and abundant parkland create a welcome sense of escape, this character-filled 1960s weatherboard offers a rare chance to secure approximately 709m² in a postcode seldom this attainable. With a 15.2m frontage, 46.5m depth and a no-through-road setting, it's an opportunity tailor-made for first-home buyers, renovators, flippers and builders alike.
Ripe for renovation, the home is a true blank canvas, ready for a full kitchen and bathroom update, fresh paint inside and out and new floor coverings. Crucially, much of the hard work is already done. The house has been fully restumped, the hot water system updated and refrigerated ducted heating and cooling installed, giving you a solid foundation to build value. Renovate and resell, knockdown and start afresh or create a long-term family home in one of Croydon's most sought-after pockets (STCA).
High ceilings, timber floors and vintage detailing bring plenty of personality. At the front, a cosy lounge retains ornate cornices and a decorative ceiling rose, a lovely nod to the home's original era. Nearby, the eat-in kitchen offers room for casual dining and features one of two beautifully detailed etched-glass doors.
Three bedrooms include a front main with original sash windows and floor-to-ceiling built-in robes, served by a central bathroom awaiting your personal touch.
Outside, the large, gently sloping block offers room for a future deck or entertaining zone (STCA), a broad stretch of lawn for children and pets, and even a fully fenced chicken house for fresh eggs. A massive 6mx6.2m former garage now serves as storage, workshop and bonus space, and can moonlight as a hobby zone, games room, gym or mancave. A 5,500L water tank and front carport add further ease.
The location seals the deal. Birts Hill Reserve sits at the end of the street, with an easy stroll to Warrien Reserve and its picnic facilities, while Hochkins Ridge Flora Reserve is just minutes away for nature walks. Families are superbly placed for education, with Croydon Hills and Good Shepherd Primary Schools, Luther College, Oxley College, Yarra Valley Grammar and Croydon Secondary College all close by. McAdam Square, Croydon North shops, Croydon Central and Chirnside Park Shopping Centre are a short drive away, along with local restaurants and the boutique wineries of the Yarra Valley. Buses, Croydon Station and EastLink keep the wider city well connected.
Live in it, lease it, renovate or rebuild (STCA). With the address, land size and flexibility already in your favour, the next move is entirely yours.
