3 Bedrooms · Cedar Construction · ½ Acre Block · Garden Shed · Dual Street Access
Imagine waking up surrounded by an established garden, birdsong drifting through cedar-lined walls, and a pace of life that actually lets you exhale. This warm three-bedroom cedar home on Livingston Street is your invitation to step off the treadmill and into something genuinely different.
Sitting on a generous half-acre block with dual street access - from both Livingston and Anderson Streets - the property offers space, flexibility, and freedom that's simply impossible to find closer to the city. A functional garden shed keeps the tools and ride-on mower close at hand, and the established gardens mean the hard work has been done for you. All that's left is to enjoy it.
The Neighbourhood
Step outside and you're immediately immersed in Avenel's quiet, historic charm. Right across Livingston Street, Stewart Park is home to a proud monument to explorers Hume and Hovell, with Hughes Creek also nearby - perfect for a morning walk or an afternoon playing with the kids.
The famous Avenel Primary School (No. 8) - historic enough to count a young Ned Kelly among its pupils in the 1860s - is an easy five-minute walk along Livingston Road. For families seeking a genuine community school with deep roots, it doesn't get more storied than this.
"History on your doorstep. Horizon in your backyard."
The Avenel Lifestyle
Avenel punches well above its weight for a small rural town. The amenity here is genuinely impressive:
• Fowles Wine cellar door
• Bank Street Wood Fired Pizza
• The Avenel Maze
• Monthly community market
• 18-Hole Golf, Lawn Bowls & Tennis
• Jubilee Park & Stewart Park
• Local cafes & pharmacy
• Historic buildings & bridges
• V-Line trains stop at Avenel, operating 7-days per week
Connections & Commute
Seymour is just 15 minutes (18km) away, and Melbourne is an easy drive when city life calls. Puckapunyal Military Area is approximately 20 minutes away - making this an attractive proposition for a long-term military lease, a dependable income stream that's hard to overlook.
Investment Angle
The generous half-acre block presents strong potential for subdivision, subject to Council approval - a genuine upside for the investor or the savvy buyer planning ahead. Alternatively, Living room 2 could easily be renovated into a cosy 4th bedroom.
Properties like this don't come around often. A cedar home with soul, a garden with stories, and a town that reminds you what community feels like.
This one is a keeper.
