Commanding an immense 1020sqm corner allotment with dual street frontages in a sought-after leafy neighbourhood, this expansive residence presents an exciting array of future possibilities. With a generous family floorplan featuring multiple living spaces and a sundrenched north-facing backyard, the home offers strong scope for contemporary updates in the future. Alternatively, the substantial landholding and prized corner position present exciting scope for redevelopment or construction of a luxury new family residence (STCA).
Poised just steps from lush Westerfolds Park bushland, the home is within easy walking distance of buses, Ruffey Creek Trail, Wombat Bend Playground, Templestowe Hotel, and Templestowe Village shops and restaurants. Zoned for the acclaimed Templestowe College and Templestowe Park Primary School, the location is also less than ten minutes’ drive from Westfield Doncaster, The Pines Shopping Centre, and EastLink for seamless city and peninsula access.
A spacious open plan living and dining area is flooded with natural light, with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling north-facing windows capturing a magnificent panoramic vista towards Westerfolds Park. Featuring a cosy open fireplace and a lofty vaulted ceiling, the living room flows to an elevated deck overlooking native treetops.
At the rear, a generous undercover deck creates an inviting setting for relaxed year-round alfresco dining, leading to a private backyard with mature citrus trees, a veggie garden, and a lawn for pets and children to play.
The substantial kitchen features abundant cabinetry, a peninsula breakfast bar for casual meals, a dishwasher, and a large Smeg freestanding electric oven and five-burner gas cooktop.
A separate retreat living area enjoys a picturesque outlook towards a beautiful golden elm tree, and is set alongside three robed bedrooms and a family bathroom with a shower over a bathtub, an additional second shower room, and a convenient separate toilet.
The lower level offers direct separate access from the Unwin Street side, providing flexibility for those running a business from home, or for multi-generational living. A spacious study or fourth bedroom is complemented by a substantial utility room. Virtually soundproof, the space is ideal for use as a music studio, home gym, or workshop.
With wide frontages to both McLachlan Street and Unwin Street, the home features ducted heating, a large water tank, security screen doors, a full laundry with direct outdoor access, excellent inbuilt storage, and a substantial powered workshop.
A double lock-up enclosed carport with rear roller door access is complemented by an additional off-street parking area ideal for storing a boat, caravan or trailer, with the property providing parking for up to five vehicles.
With the location providing exceptional ease for families, facilities within easy walking distance include the local kindergarten, New Uniting Church with a range of community programs, a swim school, and the updated Templestowe Bowling Club. Buses directly to the city are set at the end of the street, reaching the CBD in 40 minutes. Behind the village shops, just 10 minutes’ walk away, the local netball and basketball team court and training facilities are ideal for active families, while St Kevin’s Primary School is also an easy eight minute drive away.
