33 The Avenue, Blackburn VIC 3130

Arts and Crafts character on 996sqm | Bellbird pocket positioning | North-facing garden with mature planting | Heritage overlay confirmed | Renovated but original fabric retained This property offers a rare combination of period provenance and contemporary liveability. The 1925 Elmore design, set on nearly a thousand square metres in Blackburn’s Bellbird pocket, gives a buyer positional scarcity that newer houses on smaller blocks simply cannot match. The north-facing rear garden, paved terrace with gas barbecue and espaliered fruit trees are not decorative features; they are functional outdoor rooms that extend the living area and support a low-maintenance, high-enjoyment lifestyle. For a family seeking a renovated Arts and Crafts house with zoning to Blackburn Primary and Box Hill High, the configuration is already complete. The master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, plus the sunroom access from two bedrooms, makes this work for households with children or regular guests. The heritage overlay is the primary constraint here. It limits exterior alterations and may affect any future subdivision or significant extension, which matters if a buyer hopes to unlock further value through development. The asking price range sits above the suburb median, and the price per square metre reflects the premium for the Bellbird pocket and the land size. That said, the 33% building coverage leaves room for a pool or studio within the existing envelope, and the solar panels reduce ongoing costs. For a buyer who values character, space and school catchment over the ability to rebuild, this house holds its position well. Hold it as a long-term family home and let the land scarcity do the work.
