157 Ogilvie Street, Essendon, Vic 3040

The future lies in the potential offered by this neat 2 bedroom brick veneer home. Originally one of a pair of semi-detached residences, the 1950s built home with a touch of art deco design provides scope for renovation, an astute rental investment (as it has been recently), or the site for redevelopment as a new luxury home (STCA).

Conveniently close to numerous family focused amenities, this well-maintained home could be lived in as it is while waiting to redevelop or planning modernisation. The layout features spacious living room and separate dining room, main bedroom with large front garden window and a wall of innovative robes, plus a well-sized 2nd bedroom.

Highlighting a modern kitchen with stainless steel freestanding stove and dishwasher, and by contrast, a striking original bathroom to be appreciated for its retro personality. At the rear is a covered alfresco terrace…. bring your own BBQ…. and adjoining studio presenting a private and quiet WFH opportunity.

The city tram runs at the end of the street. Niddrie Shopping Precinct is around the corner, a vast collection of shops, eateries and services. Parks, playgrounds and sporting reserves are nearby. Zoned for Essendon North Primary and Buckley Park College with St John Bosco’s Primary and St Bernard’s College nearby. Minutes to Essendon and Melbourne Airports, Calder Freeway and Citylink.
