THE DEAL
The famous Mar Lodge Estate plays host to this potential-rich corner prize with rare northern orientation, presenting the most inspiring land opportunity to grace the Essendon market for years.
Covering 944m2 of prime land in Essendon's premier single-dwelling pocket, the marquee parcel currently holds a modest, three-bedroom, two-bathroom abode with scope to update and revitalise, ideal for minor improvements, attracting tenants in a high-demand family locale, and leasing out while plans progress for a residence to rival Essendon's finest. A dream block in every sense, all-day northern sun is sure enliven a future-home's interior and make a feature pool an attractive proposition, while wide side frontage to Cudmore Street broadens architectural possibilities and gives the option to separate garage from façade.
Central to freeways, nature trails, and some of the city's most esteemed private schools in PEGS, St Bernard's, Lowther Hall, Ave Maria, and St Columba's, it's only a short stroll through leafy streets to Buckley Park's playground, sporting facilities, and green expanses, North Essendon Village's cafés and monthly farmers' markets, city-bound trams, and Keilor Road shops and restaurants.
SEALS THE DEAL
