58 McIntyre Drive, Altona, VIC

The appeal of this largely original three-bedroom home runs deeper than first glance. Yes, it meets today's needs with an easy mix of comfort and character - but it's the scope for renovation or redevelopment, STCA, that sets pulses racing. A frontage of approximately 17.3m, northerly rear aspect and direct gate access to Cherry Lake Reserve combine to make this one of the more compelling opportunities to surface in Altona in some time. Separate living, dining and kitchen/meals areas flow through a well-considered floorplan, with three bedrooms arranged around a central bathroom featuring both a separate bath and shower. Neatly presented, entirely functional and complete with a separate laundry, the home's traditional character defines the present comfortably - while the future invites something altogether more ambitious. On a generous 663m², that wide frontage opens genuine options: a standout new build, a renovation that honours the setting, or a redevelopment that makes full use of the land's scale and northern light. The private parkland access beyond the rear garden only adds to what is already an exceptional address. It is moments from everything Altona has to offer.
