71 Brushy Park Road, Wonga Park VIC 3115

Large family home | generous 1,139m² lot | 269m² building | bushfire overlay present The property’s primary competitive strength is its unusually large building footprint on a generous block in a family-oriented suburb, giving it a configuration edge over most nearby listings. The 269m² of living space across six bedrooms and a study suits multi-generational households or those needing dedicated home-office separation. The ducted heating and evaporative cooling are practical for Melbourne’s climate, and the three-car garage plus two open spaces offer rare parking flexibility. This house best serves buyers who need immediate space and are willing to accept a dated interior in exchange for lot size and location near Chirnside Park Primary and Mooroolbark College. The bushfire overlay is the principal risk, as it may constrain future development or require specific building materials for any extension, and it could affect insurance premiums. The 1990 build means systems like the roof and plumbing may need attention within five years, and the evaporative cooling is less effective during extreme heat events. However the lot’s size and lack of heritage or flood overlays leave genuine scope for a rear subdivision or granny flat subject to council approval, which could offset purchase cost. Hold this property as a long-term family home or consider a dual-occupancy strategy once mortgage pressure eases
