28 Hawkesbury Avenue, Merivale

Situated in the sought-after leafy suburb of Merivale, this 1900s character home presents the promise of a project with massive potential.

Presented to the market in its raw state, the sharp-eyed investor could choose to renovate and restore the villa to its former glory or to demolish and capitalise on the prime site development opportunity. At 1011sqm this section is a sizeable slice of a premium neighbourhood.

As it stands, the home is mostly original with some alterations, comprising a large living area warmed by a gas fire and offering expansive views of the garden via the large windows. The room also boasts a distinctive tongue and groove timber ceiling while the kitchen with breakfast bar has access to the outdoor space.

Three double bedrooms and one single, all with built-in wardrobes (the master has two), provide ample accommodation for families. The spacious master bedroom retains the original fireplace with decorative tiled surround.

There is one family bathroom and the convenience of a separate toilet. A separate office with external access provides the possibility of working from home.

Situated in a quiet street, Merivale Mall and Edgeware shops are just minutes away. Families will love the proximity to parks, playgrounds, cafés and restaurants with popular Meshino café also right on the corner. All the family’s education requirements are well catered for with zoning for St Albans School, Heaton Intermediate and Christchurch Boys’ and Girls’ High Schools.

This property will undoubtedly appeal to those looking to secure a sizeable parcel in a prime position.
