8 Station Avenue
Glen Iris

Situated a quiet tree-lined avenue, this appealing Californian family home c1927 occupies a generous allotment of 1,029sqm approx. and now offers a range of options. Either renovate and extend the existing home, design and build a luxurious new family residence with the inclusion of a pool, or alternatively build new townhouses on the site (STCA). With all options promising excellent capital gains prospects in an area likely to deliver future renewal.

The existing brick home, largely in original condition, is typical of the styling of the era including a tuckpoint brick façade and decorative Art Deco ceilings in the traditional front rooms. The home which presents in comfortable condition throughout features an arched hallway, separate sitting and dining rooms, three zoned bedrooms – two at the front and one at the rear – alongside a sunroom and laundry, plus a period-style bathroom and kitchen/meals area. Leading to a deep rear garden with an external bungalow, workshop and original sheds; offering ample space to extend out and up if desired. Other features of the home include a gas heater (dining room), a lock-up garage/storage and tandem off-street parking. Buyers should note the home could be comfortably occupied or leased on a temporary basis while a decision on its future is made.

Enhancing its lifestyle benefits is its proximity to Burwood Station, Toorak Road trams or the Hartwell shopping centre and the popular Leo’s Fine Food Supermarket, with Camberwell Junction or Ashburton shops as alternatives. Also a choice of schools, including zoning to the well-regarded Hartwell Primary or Camberwell High School plus Hill ‘n Dale Park and walking tracks to Back Creek Reserve or Ferndale Park are all just moments away for recreation options.
