257 Blackburn Road, Blackburn South VIC 3130

Just a short walk to Burwood One Plaza, its 24hour Kmart and a superb array of cafes and restaurants, this character-rich 3-bedroom home on 603sqms (approx.) offers you the freedom to be car-free in an absolute lifestyle location.

Set well back from the road, the mid-century brick veneer has been tastefully updated in keeping with its vintage style, retaining its corniced ceilings, wide entrance hallway and generous sized bedrooms – and adding s/s kitchen appliances, central heating, evaporative and split system cooling, solar panels and rainwater storage to its host of modern enhancements.

Lovely light filters through the front living room, meals area and galley kitchen, creating an inviting setting in which to unwind – with shady gardens, generous driveway space for off-street parking and a private covered entrance patio adding to the property's appeal. Bedrooms have been thoughtfully positioned at the rear of the home, serviced by a full family bathroom and separate toilet, with gorgeous garden outlooks from the king-sized master bedroom, and a built-in study desk and access to the pergola from the 2rd bedroom.

A neatly landscaped garden offers beautiful outdoor living with an east facing pergola to enjoy sunny breakfasts, a small patch of lawn, paved garden pathways and access to a tandem steel garage and shed.

Currently leased month-to-month with a tenant keen to stay on for those seeking a ready-made investment, or suitable as a great start for first home buyers in the school zone for Burwood Heights Primary (STSA), with private education at PLC and Emmaus College, superb access to Deakin University with essential transport services on your doorstep (bus, train and tram), surrounded by beautiful nearby parkland, Forest Hill Chase shopping mall and cinema, Burwood Brickworks, village shops at Blackburn and medical clinics including Bellbird Medical Centre.
