54 Burwood Highway, Burwood East VIC 3151

The door opens to new beginnings at this treasured family home at the top end of Burwood East's activity hub – a main road address in the Residential Growth Zone RGZ1, the school catchment for top ranking Mount Waverley Secondary College (STSA), just steps to Burwood Heights Shopping Centre, Burwood Brickworks, Readings Cinema, the RSPCA and a host of exciting restaurants.

With 16.1m frontage facing north for abundant natural light, the gently ascending rectangular 681sqms (approx.) offers incredible development scope (STCA) to put you right at the bustling heart of the district's finest shops, transport services and education institutions including Deakin University, Wesley College and Presbyterian Ladies College.

Original owners built the home in the '60s, which offers great space across 2 living rooms, with a dining area alongside a huge kitchen, and the outdoor freedom of a steel roofed patio overlooking the grassed yard. Pretty pink tiles in the bathroom showcase the pastel hues of the era – still in pristine condition, with a separate toilet next to the laundry and the comfort of ducted heating as well as a gas heater in the mantelpiece.

It could be a renovation project, or the start of something brand new, as the next generation stakes their claim in one of the most burgeoning parts of Burwood East, just 22km to the city with the 75 tram right out front, nearby Box Hill and Knox Private hospitals, and enviable access to some of Melbourne's most elite schools.
