Nestled in the leafy, tightly held enclave of Myrtle Grove, this utterly charming split-level Mid Century Modern style residence offers the best of both worlds — a tranquil bushland setting in the very heart of Blackburn, with all the convenience of nearby amenities and prized zoning for the highly sought-after Box Hill High School.
Set on a magnificent 1011sqm (approx.) block, this classically appointed three-bedroom plus study, two-bathroom home presents an inspiring opportunity for families, renovators, and new home builders alike. Whether you’re ready to embrace the home’s original warmth and character with a stylish modern renovation, or looking to design and build your dream residence (STCA), this is a property where the possibilities are as exciting as the location.
The home’s existing layout already offers generous proportions and timeless appeal. The signature slate crazy paving sets the scene as you enter via the covered front verandah. At the centre of the home a light-filled formal lounge with soaring ceilings, clerestory windows and northern orientation makes a bold first impression. Adjoining this is a rustic-style kitchen and meals area, perfect for casual family dinners or entertaining friends, while a sunken family room at the rear connects to outside and provides welcome separation and flexibility for everyday living. A dedicated study could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, nursery, or home office.
Three well-zoned bedrooms include a spacious main with private ensuite, while the central bathroom remains easily accessible for the remaining bedrooms. Outside, a large elevated deck with pergola captures a peaceful garden outlook and offers a perfect spot for alfresco dining, kids’ play, or quiet reflection under the trees.
The real value here, however, lies in the land and location. Myrtle Grove is one of Blackburn’s most tranquil and picturesque pockets — a tree-lined street with a strong sense of community and enduring family appeal. Within a short stroll, you'll find Laburnum Village’s boutique cafes, along with scenic walks through Blacks Walk, Kalang Park, and Blackburn Lake. With Laburnum Primary School and Laburnum Station also close by, and Box Hill High School zoning adding long-term value, this is a location that delivers on every level.
