26 Burbank Drive, Reservoir VIC 3073

Location, plus the promise of potential, combine to make this three-bedroom home the solution for families looking to get a good property in a suburb on the rise.

This rock-solid suburban time capsule is not only begging to be brought into the 21st century, it is shouting 'young family' looking for a dream start.

Even better, its big 577sqm block offers the scope to really do something special with this home - think extending or building your new dream home (STCA) - and turn it into the star of the street - and suburb!

The well-appointed kitchen, bathroom and carpeted lounge on entry are all period settings, while bedrooms are of a generous nature. Complete with year-round climate control, it is a perfectly liveable opportunity while you explore your opportunities for the future.

In the short term, there is also the bonus of a studio space at the rear of the garage in the generous backyard, which could be used as a home office, a teenager's retreat or even a spare bedroom for visitors.

Outside your front gate, every direction you turn has something to offer, from a comfortable walk to Keon Park train station for a stress-free commute to the 10-minute drive to Reservoir Village and its collection of shops and cafes. It's take your pick of the excellent local schools that stand within a 5km radius, and there's no shortage of green space, with parklands and sporting reserves at every point of the compass.

Already a popular pocket of Reservoir, demand is only going one way and that brings the bonus of even bigger numbers on your long-term bottom line.
