243 Mahoneys Road, Reservoir

Some family homes give you a choice. This one gives you several, with a block size that makes them worth considering. Set on approximately 534 square metres, the opportunity is plain to see. Renovate with a contemporary look to suit your style, extend into the backyard, or look at redevelopment potential for one or two dwellings, subject to council approval. It's also a property that can be leased out straight away, while you decide what comes next. The existing layout is easy to work with. A front porch leads into a central hallway, with a large living room off to the left where north-facing corner windows pull in natural light. There's also a gas heater set into stone surrounds and a split-system already in place. Beyond, the plan opens into a dining area and a kitchen along the wall, functional as is, with clear scope to update and open up if you choose. Four generous bedrooms share a bathroom with bath and shower, a separate toilet and a full laundry at the rear. A covered patio looks onto the deep backyard. The four-car garage comes with a sink, lock-up storeroom and an additional shed behind it. There is also a long driveway providing abundant off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Zoned for Moomba Park Primary School and John Fawkner Secondary College. Keon Park and Gowrie stations are close by, giving you the choice of the Mernda or Upfield lines. Buses run past the front door. Mahoneys Road, Campbellfield Plaza, High Street Thomastown, Lalor Shopping Centre, Moomba Park Reserve and Merri Creek Parklands are all within easy reach. The solid-brick bones are here. How you shape them is entirely up to you.
