The biggest, most flexible, opportunity in the Oakleigh South Primary School Zone comes with approx 1858 sqm land, big plans and a grand architectural pedigree! Set over two huge lots each well over 900 sqm on land which was originally part of Metropolitan Golf Course, this vastly versatile estate offers multiple possibilities - with a substantial 45sq home from iconic architect Kevin Borland, an approved concept for three new family homes, and the flexibility of vast land to inspire new ideas.
Appreciate the architectural vision in this grand family estate and see how the lofty timber-lined vaulted ceilings, solid Oregon beams and wide walls of windows can enhance your view of the future for this impressive post-modern home. Designed in the early 1970s to suit the celebrity lifestyle of an internationally-renowned jazz musician, this four bedroom and home-office, two bathroom home follows an expansive L-shaped design wrapping a bean-shaped pool and mod-grass tennis-court.
Representing a unique opportunity to re-invigorate a substantial piece of Australian architectural history, the home's multi-zone design fits today's family life with living-dining around a stone-benchtop, Ilve and Miele appliance kitchen, a central retreat in a quiet kids' bedroom wing, and an acoustically-engineered rumpus-room beyond a vast parent's domain with retreat, dressing-room & 2-way ensuite. Sized to fit a billiard table (or grand piano) and designed to live loud, this living space has a former life as a rehearsal room for great late-20th century artists including Shirley Bassey!
Maintained with respect for the home's original design and respectfully updated where it counts, the home is set to inspire as a grand design project with the original jarrah and slate flooring, cabinetry, acoustic ceilings and shag-pile carpets in place behind Daniel Robertson brick walls. With the oversize double auto-garage, centrally located pool, mod-grass court all in excellent condition, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a grand family estate.
Alternatively, consider the real estate opportunities of this spectacular dual lot land and let this solid and comfortable home provide an immensely liveable or rentable home-base until it's time to develop in line with the approved concept for three 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, triple zone family homes with double garages. Perhaps even start afresh with an all-new vision (subject to Council Approval) and maximise the value in this prime site your own way.
Whatever the future holds, the rewards of this prized golf course and school zone position applies - with in-demand Oakleigh South Primary school 300m away, the wide open spaces of the South Oakleigh College playing-fields behind, and some of the area's most impressive homes as neighbours.
