There is no pretending this one is move-in ready. In fact, that is exactly the point. Stripped back, damaged and currently unliveable, this two-bedroom unit is for the buyer who can look past what is here and see what it could become. Bring the builder, the architect and a clear vision, because this is a blank canvas in a superb location that makes the effort worthwhile.
The existing single-level layout gives you plenty to build on. A central entry opens to a large living room, while the separate kitchen has the proportions to be reinvented. Both bedrooms have robes, and there is a bathroom with bath and shower, separate toilet, full laundry and a garage. Outside, greenery wraps around the home, providing another area ready to be cleared, landscaped and brought back to life.
From here, the fun begins. Open things up. Rework the kitchen. Give the bathroom a complete overhaul. Play with the floorplan, sharpen the finishes and turn a tired shell into something fresh, smart and entirely your own. Keep things simple or go all out. There is no previous renovation dictating the look, no finishes you feel obliged to save and no reason not to get creative. Subject to the relevant approvals, this is your opportunity to rethink it from the ground up and create a home that bears little resemblance to what stands here today.
The position gives all that hard work a very good reason. Zoned for Koonung Secondary College and close to Mont Albert Primary School, St Paul's College and Our Holy Redeemer School, the address also puts Surrey Hills Shopping Centre, Box Hill, Union Station, tram services and Grovedale Park within easy reach.
It is rough, yes. But for a renovator with ideas, energy and the appetite to take on a real transformation, that roughness is precisely where the opportunity lies. Get into project mode, use your imagination and see just how far you can take it.
