37 Ivanhoe Grove, Malvern East VIC 3145

Spacious 3-bed on large 604m² block | No overlays | Scope for extension | Original kitchen and bathroom This house presents a strong foundation purchase in a high-median suburb, its value anchored by a substantial, unencumbered block in a peaceful, leafy setting. The absence of bushfire or heritage overlays significantly reduces complexity for future development, making it a strategic entry for an owner-occupier seeking to extend or an investor banking on land appreciation. Its zoning for established government schools directly targets family buyers, while the solid structure and functional layout provide immediate livability. The primary cost is the capital and effort required to modernize the original kitchen and retro bathroom, a direct trade-off for the lower entry price. The current listing range sits notably below both the estimated automated valuation and recent comparable sales, indicating a potential pricing opportunity if the property’s condition is accurately reflected. Proceed with an offer anchored in its as-is state, budgeting for immediate updates; this is a long-term hold to unlock the latent value in the land. 71 Ivanhoe Grove (3-bed, 1-bath) sold for $1,360,000 in June 2024. 26A Ivanhoe Grove (3-bed, 2-bath) is currently listed at $1,300,000 – $1,430,000.
