56 Gardenia Street, Blackburn VIC 3130

Built circa 1960 with all the charm of the mid-century era, this character-rich rendered home has been updated to retain its classical style, bringing to life relaxed living in a park side cul de sac along Furness Park. The rare 1124sqms (approx.) allotment on this tightly held street promises wide open space for the family amid beautiful established gardens, or the potential for development (STCA) with a blank canvas of flat lawn at the rear awaiting inspiration. French doors opening out to substantial front and rear verandahs offer natural indoor-outdoor flow, with big windows infusing the living space with plenty of natural light.

A statement timber front door with knocker, polished hardwood floors, a stacked stone fireplace and sash windows offer period elegance, with contemporary enhancements in the kitchen and bathrooms and the comfort of ducted heating and split system cooling. A grand galley kitchen comes appointed in prestige Bosch appliances including a wok burner gas cooktop, while large format grey tiling creates on trend sophistication in the two bathrooms, with the addition of a 3rd toilet in the powder room. Privately zoned bedrooms are headed up by a radiant master retreat with its own ensuite, with further bedrooms positioned down the hallway including a versatile 4th bedroom as a study, or retreat.

Set in a prized school zone for Box Hill High and Blackburn Primary, with a 1.5 tandem garage offering potential shared driveway access for a second dwelling at the rear (STCA). With most of the trees already removed via council permits, this is a treasure trove of possibility for a buyer keen to invest in one of the most coveted and well-serviced pockets of Blackburn, a short walk to the train station and café strip, a stone’s throw to Blackburn Lake and spoilt for choice with shopping, schools, parks and medical services on your doorstep.
