1 Balmanno Crescent, Strathmore VIC 3041

Backing directly onto the peaceful greenery of Balmanno Reserve, this rare 791sqm (approx.) allotment with a generous 23-metre frontage presents a remarkable opportunity to create a landmark home in one of Strathmore's most tightly held pockets.

With plans and permit already approved, the property is ready for construction of a luxury five-bedroom residence by Taouk Architects, with landscape design by Mint Design. Every element of the design has been carefully considered to embrace light, space and connection to the outdoors. At its heart, a showpiece kitchen with premium appliances, walk-in pantry and a striking wine room anchors a vast open-plan living and dining area, flowing seamlessly to an alfresco entertaining space and pool with tranquil parkland views.

The home's layout provides generous and flexible accommodation, including a grand master retreat with walk-in robe and private ensuite, a formal lounge, an upstairs family retreat, a four-car garage, and smart energy-efficient inclusions. Engineering has been completed and the electrical pit is installed – all the groundwork is done, ready to begin.

Currently on the site is a comfortable three-bedroom home with spacious interiors and direct park access – ideal to live in or lease while planning your build. There's also excellent scope for redevelopment or subdivision potential (STCA), offering further value for developers or investors.

Zoned to Strathmore Secondary College and just moments from some of the area's leading schools including St Vincent de Paul Primary, Strathmore Primary, PEGS, Lowther Hall and St Columba's College, the location is second to none. Public transport is easily accessible with Strathmore Station and Mt Alexander Road trams within walking distance, while CityLink access places the CBD within easy reach. Enjoy the vibrant local lifestyle with North Essendon Village, Napier Park and Woodlands Park all nearby.

An outstanding opportunity to build without delay – in a location that delivers lifestyle, prestige and long-term growth.
