Restore it, renovate it, completely reinvent it or explore its commercial possibilities, 102 Wattletree Road is a genuine fixer upper with the kind of Armadale address that makes the hard work worthwhile. Deceptively spacious and set on 245sqm (approx.), this three bedroom period home offers substantial interiors, rear car access and the remnants of an elegant past, together with exciting potential for a medical practice, consulting rooms or other commercial use in one of Armadale's most vibrant commercial locations, subject to council approval.
A long entrance hall retains an elaborate decorative arch, while high ceilings, deep skirting boards, traditional proportions and an ornate ceiling rose provide glimpses of the home it could become.
Three bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the front section of the property, including a generous north facing main bedroom, before the hallway arrives at a separate east facing living room. Beyond, the large vintage kitchen and meals area provides an excellent footprint for a complete overhaul, with an adjoining laundry offering further scope to reconsider how the rear of the property could work.
The substantial existing floorplan also lends itself to buyers looking beyond a purely residential future. Its series of separate rooms, prominent Wattletree Road address and rear access could suit adaptation as consulting rooms, a medical practice or professional premises, subject to the relevant approvals, opening another avenue for those looking to capitalise on this high profile Armadale position.
Outside, the possibilities continue with front and rear patio areas, a shed and a carport accessed from the rear right of way, an increasingly valuable asset whether the property is reimagined as a home or explored for commercial use.
Then there is the location. Malvern Central is moments away, with Glenferrie Road and High Street opening up a formidable choice of shopping, cafes, restaurants and everyday essentials. Armadale Station, trams and some of the suburb's best known food and retail destinations are all close at hand, placing the property within one of Melbourne's most coveted lifestyle and commercial precincts.
