26 Riddle Street, Bentleigh VIC 3204

5-bed family house | 625m² land | 3-car parking | flood overlay | Bentleigh school zone A five-bedroom house with three car parking spaces is found on a 625 square metre allotment, which is positioned above the typical family-home size in Bentleigh. The property is served by a single bathroom, a limitation that is balanced by the generous land area and the potential for improvement. It is best suited to a family upgrader or a renovator, as the established school catchment and quiet street character are reinforced by the surrounding stock. The large block is considered a key strength, offering scope for extension or redevelopment. The property is affected by a flood overlay, which may influence insurance costs and redevelopment approvals. The single bathroom is considered dated and might require updating. Site coverage of 45% is viewed as a limit on extensions, while the lack of heritage overlay is seen as permissive for changes. These factors are weighed by buyers, so a close review of council controls is recommended. >> Comparable Sales: 19 Riddle Street sold $1.12M in 2015; 10 Riddle Street sold $1.375M in 2022 | Property Price Band: $1.6M–$1.7M | Value Drivers: land size, bedroom count, flood overlay
