Overview

An Opportunity To Make Your Own

Some properties are defined by the home that stands upon them. Others are defined by what they could become. Offered for sale for the first time since 1969, 7 Shiers Place presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure an extraordinary 1,125m² parcel of land in the heart of established Scullin - a property where scale, orientation and position combine to create almost endless possibility. Held by the same owner for more than five decades, the existing five-bedroom residence has reached the point where its next chapter is ready to be written. Renovate extensively and breathe new life into the original home, extend and completely reimagine the footprint, or explore the potential to start again and create something entirely new - the opportunity here is as exciting as it is increasingly difficult to find. Positioned peacefully within a quiet cul-de-sac, the enormous allotment enjoys an ideal north-facing aspect and remarkable usable space. The aerial perspective tells the story beautifully: an established home occupying only a portion of the site, surrounded by expansive grounds and an enormous backyard that opens the door to a multitude of possibilities. For renovators, there is a substantial single-level footprint from which to work. Five bedrooms are complemented by a generous living room, separate dining area, functional kitchen and an additional multipurpose room, providing the bones from which a completely transformed family home could emerge. For those with a bigger vision, however, it is the land that will capture the imagination. At 1,125m², there is space here that modern suburban development simply rarely affords. Imagine designing a substantial contemporary residence with sprawling indoor and outdoor living, landscaped gardens, a pool, generous garaging and room for the family to grow - or investigate the broader redevelopment possibilities the site may offer, all subject to relevant planning and approval requirements. A detached double garage already sits toward the rear of the property, yet even with the existing home and garaging in place, the sheer amount of open land is immediately apparent. This is not a property being presented as a finished home... It is an opportunity to create one.
