1249 Dandenong Road, Malvern East VIC 3145
| 2-bedroom house on 552sqm | Malvern East, Stonnington | strong land-to-building ratio | Murrumbeena Primary zone | no overlays | This property offers a rare configuration in a premium inner-south-east suburb: a compact two-bedroom house on a full 552-square-metre block with a 22% building coverage. For a buyer seeking land value and redevelopment optionality, the low coverage and absence of heritage, bushfire, or flood overlays create a clean slate. The school zoning to Murrumbeena Primary and Glen Eira College adds family appeal, while the 5G and NBN connectivity support professional or remote work. It suits a buyer wanting immediate occupancy with a long-term land hold strategy, or a developer seeking a straightforward site in a tightly held Stonnington pocket. The key risk is the small building footprint and limited bedroom count, which may cap resale or rental demand among families seeking larger homes. The estimated value range of $1.65m to $2.49m reflects this tension between land value and current dwelling utility. However, the 2013 purchase at $1.25m shows solid capital growth, and the lack of planning constraints reduces holding risk. For a buyer, this property functions best as a land bank with rental income, to be held until a future rebuild or subdivision becomes viable.
