8 Vernal Avenue, Mitcham VIC 3132

Is this the best opportunity in Mitcham? Apart from being on the market for the first time in 75 years this property at No. 8 Vernal Avenue is definitely located in one of Mitcham’s best streets and at approximately 1589 square metres is quite possibly the best block available right now. The land, which is deep and level, is currently occupied by a big 5 bedroom home and together they offer huge potential for renovation, rebuilding, redevelopment or possible subdivision as has occurred in neighbouring properties. There is definitely ample space to create a substantial family home through renovation and extension or rebuilding and retain a spacious back yard, subject to Council Approval.


The existing weatherboard dwelling comprises 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and 3 bathrooms, central kitchen and laundry and includes a fully self-contained “granny” flat with a second kitchen which sits within the existing floorplan of the house and which has its own external entrance. In addition, there is also a separate studio in the rear yard. The floorplan lends itself to reinterpretation to make the most of the generous proportions of the living spaces and the current placement of a bedroom at each corner of the house. The house features original ceiling roses and gas space heaters in both living rooms one of which incorporates a dining space and reverse cycle air conditioning unit. There is a drive way on each side of the house with one leading to a lock-up garage and the other to a carport off the Studio. There is also a security alarm, inground watering system and garden shed.


Situated in what is Mitcham’s best tree lined street, this property is just metres from the local Rangeview shops and cafés plus the bus stops in Mitcham Road that connect with Mitcham shops and train station, and is within easy walking distance of Rangeview Primary School. Eastland Ringwood is a few minutes away by car as is the Eastlink onramp.
