60 Winter Crescent, Reservoir

This 1950s brick veneer home sits on approximately 586 square metres with a north-facing rear garden that captures sun all day. It's metres from KP Hardiman and Arch Gibson Reserves and the Darebin Creek Trail. It's the kind of location where you can walk out the door and be surrounded by green space and riverside paths within minutes. For families with kids or anyone who values easy access to the outdoors, that proximity makes a difference. The existing home is liveable and comfortable. There's a generous living room with gas fireplace and split-system heating/cooling, a kitchen and dining combination, and three bedrooms, the main with built-in robes. The central bathroom features a shower over the bath, plus there's a separate laundry and lock-up garage. You can move in, rent it out, or draw up plans while you're living here. But the real story is the land itself. The block is deep, the dimensions work, and that north-facing aspect means the backyard floods with natural light. Renovate and extend the existing home to suit your needs, add a second dwelling at the rear, or start fresh with one or two new builds, subject to council approval. The options are there. You just need to decide which direction suits. Reservoir East Primary School, Reservoir High School and St Stephen's Catholic Primary School are all within walking distance. Polaris and Summerhill Shopping Centres cover groceries and daily shopping. Trams and Reservoir Station provide connections to the city, while the Metropolitan Ring Road offers quick access to surrounding areas.
