1 Leyte Parade, Heidelberg West VIC 3081

AUCTION $800,000 - $880,000

This is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Melbourne history. In 1956 Leyte Parade formed part of the vibrant Olympic Village which was home to almost 5000 of the world’s top athletes, and a symbol of national pride.

The current residence, which was part of the village, offers a living room, a central kitchen and bathroom, plus two robed bedrooms. There is also a separate dining room that could be converted to a third bedroom if desired.

Ceilings are high, flooring is contemporary, and living is made comfortable by gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling. There is a storage room, a water tank and a double lock up garage for car accommodation or additional storage.

The 729sqm approx. allotment is one of the largest in the surrounding area and as such, this creates a number of exciting opportunities for astute buyers or developers. Buy the home to live in or rent out as is, renovate/extend the current dwelling and maintain its historic link, or remove the existing home and utilise the generous parcel for a dual occupancy project or as a new home site (STCA).

Centrally located only 12kms from the CBD and in one of the fastest growth areas in Melbourne, you’re close to an array of desirable amenities such as Rosanna Railway Station, local buses, popular shopping precincts including Northland Shopping Centre, local schools and numerous open green spaces such as Darebin Creek, Shelley Park and CH Sullivan Memorial Park. It’s also an easy drive to the Austin Hospital and surrounding medical precinct.

Like any good race, there can only be one winner. Inspect now and go for gold.
