Offering an exciting array of possibilities, this beautiful character residence occupies an expansive 1318m2 (approx.) corner block in the heart of Lilydale. Whether you’re a tradie, developer or looking to enjoy a wonderful family lifestyle with options for the future (STCA), this charming home presents an exceptional opportunity!
Substantial in size, the site offers scope to retain the existing house and build at the rear (STCA), remove the existing residence and develop the entire site (STCA), or simply enjoy the generous grounds and timeless character of this enchanting three bedroom home.
Harking back to the early days of Lilydale and built as part of the town’s original subdivision, the home is rich in period charm and retains an impressive array of original features. Soaring three metre ceilings, stained glass windows, beautiful stained glass French doors, double hung windows and two fireplaces are complemented by a wraparound veranda capturing wonderful views across Lilydale.
Grand front steps lead from the picturesque garden, filled with lush old fashioned plants and secret pockets, and introduce the home where two elegant formal rooms, believed to have originally served as the lounge and dining rooms, are separated by exquisite French doors. There is potential here for an additional bedroom with a delightful little glass door opening to the veranda. The existing three bedrooms include two sharing an ensuite along with a second refreshed bathroom.
A central hallway leads through to the inviting family room and dining area, with the recently updated kitchen providing a practical contemporary touch while complementing the home’s classic character.
Beautifully established, the garden is a wonderland for children, pets and gardeners alike and offers exceptional versatility; abundant secure off-street parking and double garage make it ideal for a tradie or those needing space for multiple vehicles. A separate garden studio provides further flexibility, whether used as an artist’s studio, home office, hobby space or additional accommodation complete with toilet.
The location is equally appealing, with Lilydale’s shops, eateries, Marketplace, Lilydale Village Shopping Centre and public transport all within easy reach. The nearby train station further enhances the convenience, while an excellent selection of schools adds to the appeal, including Mount Lilydale College, Lilydale High School, St John’s Primary and Lilydale Primary, with Oxley College, Edinburgh College and Billanook College also within an easy drive.
