With unmistakable character and brilliant blue-ribbon positioning in one of the most tightly held pockets of the east - arm's reach to prestigious private and public schools, and a stone's throw to the iconic Parade Norwood for unrivalled lifestyle options - 26 Melrose Avenue proudly holds onto its c.1920's charm, while leaving the door wide open for a raft of possibilities.
Much-loved and neatly presented inside and out, marvel at yesteryear aspects, such as the return verandah frontage overlooking neat gardens, soaring ceilings and wide central hallway, along with solid four-square footings that sees 2 large bedrooms followed by the sweeping formal lounge and dining divided by lovely timber French doors.
Offset by the adjoining contemporary kitchen, an excellent rumpus retreat helmed by a bar ready to pour and a casual meals - both opening wonderfully to the charming outdoor entertaining area with all-weather pergola - adds a welcome invitation to host your nearest and dearest, enjoying weekend get-togethers for fun-filled, summer season festivities.
The addition of a supremely spacious master bedroom complete with private ensuite quickly elevates the functionality to the otherwise mostly original home proper. And, along with ducted evaporative AC, an array of split-system units, as well as plenty of backyard space for the kids to play or family pet to happily roam, seizing such a property where a wash of easy updates and minor refurbs would quickly have it ready for a 2024 fresh start.
That said, nestled on a very enticing 686m2 parcel, notions of a spectacular character-meets-modern conversion with a re-inspired extension turn this character classic into a Beulah Park masterpiece (STCC). Combining such incredible renovation potential with arm's reach access to all the sought-after drawcards of this elite area… this is an opportunity you don't want to let slip through your fingers!
