Property Description
Listed on 8 Apr 2026
Its Addressed: • Foothills charm with exciting scope ahead • Walk to shops, station and schools • Generous block ready for your vision There’s something quietly exciting about a home like this - the kind that hints at what it’s been, and all it could become. With its retro mid-century style façade and a generous 790sqm block, this foothills address offers a rare opportunity to renovate, extend, rebuild (STCA), or simply enjoy as-is while you plan your next move. Inside, the minimalist footprint is full of promise. Hardwood timber floors and high ceilings bring warmth and character to the open-plan living zone, where glass doors lead you out to a covered deck with café blinds. It’s an easy, breezy connection between indoors and out, overlooking a backyard that feels like a blank canvas – ready for backyard cricket, veggie gardens, or a future alfresco transformation. The kitchen is neat and functional, equipped with a freestanding gas cooktop and oven plus a SMEG dishwasher, making it perfectly liveable from day one. Three bedrooms branch off the living area, two with floor-to-ceiling robes, all serviced by a family bathroom with a generous footprint - ripe for a modern refresh when the time feels right. Outdoors, the scale of the land becomes your playground. There’s space to extend, reimagine or simply spread out and enjoy, with a covered deck complete with café blinds already in place and a generous yard that invites imagination. Secure gates lead through to a garage, complemented by a carport, storage shed and abundant off-street parking for multiple vehicles, boats or caravans. Whether you’re a first home buyer with vision, an investor seeking future upside, or someone ready to create something entirely new, this is a property that rewards creativity and long-term thinking. With the #691 bus stop at your doorstep, and just a short stroll to Ferntree Gully North Primary, Ferntree Gully Village, cafés and the train station, this is a location built for convenience. Nearby reserves, including Ferntree Gully Quarry, along with easy access to Boronia Village, Westfield Knox and EastLink, ensure everything you need is within easy reach. Property Specifications: Approx. 790sqm block, open-plan living with hardwood timber floors and high ceilings, glass doors to covered deck with café blinds, three bedrooms (two with floor-to-ceiling robes), family bathroom with renovation scope, kitchen with SMEG dishwasher and freestanding gas cooktop and oven, laundry with second toilet, single carport, garage behind secure gates, storage shed, extensive off-street parking for cars, boats or caravans, suitable for renovation, extension or rebuild (STCA).
