Level 1, 1070 Mt Alexander Road, EssendonFour doors from the c.1865 homestead that gave the Mar Lodge Estate its name, this 891sqm* marquee holding sits on Forrester Street – where Essendon's most prestigious enclave began. It is one of the few blank canvases left on the estate; a chance to build a family home entirely to your own design. There is no heritage overlay, and the 18.3m* frontage gives an architect plenty to work with. Behind the Californian façade sit four bedrooms, a bathroom and multiple living areas, plus a multi-room bungalow at the rear. The deep backyard is framed by established trees – room for a pool, a proper lawn and a vegetable patch.  The streets here are lined with old trees, and the single-dwelling covenant set when the grounds were subdivided in 1921 keeps the enclave as it is. The postcode recently recorded an eight-figure sale, and homes nearby have sold for more than $5 million. PEGS, Lowther Hall, St Bernard's, Ave Maria and St Columba's are all minutes away. Walk to Buckley and Fawkner Streets for coffee, fresh bread, after-hours drinks and the IGA, with the river, parks, sporting clubs, lifestyle villages, city trains and freeways close by. Land size: 891sqm* *Approximately. All potential uses of the property are subject to council approval.","YearBuilt":null,"LandArea":null,"Price":{"Currency":"AUD","Amount":null,"Display":"$2,000,000 - $2,200,000"},"Bedrooms":"4","Bathrooms":"2","Parking":"2","Features":[{"Name":"Bedrooms","Value":"4"},{"Name":"Bathrooms","Value":"2"},{"Name":"Carports","Value":"2"},{"Name":"Area","Value":"892 m²"}],"Inspections":[{"Title":"Inspection Sat 10 Oct 11:30 am","Start":"2026-10-10T11:30:00","End":"2026-10-10T12:00:00"}],"Auctions":[{"Title":"Wed 28 Oct at 6:00 pm","Address":"39 Forrester Street, Essendon, Vic 3040","Date":"2026-10-28T18:00:00","Outcome":null,"Upcoming":true}],"TimeZone":"AUS Eastern Standard Time","Latitude":-37.75259383,"Longitude":144.90075895,"Agent":{"Name":"Christian Lonzi","CanonicalUrl":"https://realsearch.com.au/agent/christian-lonzi"},"Agency":{"Name":"Jellis Craig - Moonee Valley","CanonicalUrl":"https://realsearch.com.au/agency/jellis-craig-moonee-valley"},"CreatedAt":"2026-09-29T08:45:33.7223201","UpdatedAt":"2026-10-02T07:59:48.7981385"}
