10 Melrose Street

Commanding a magnificent north-facing garden allotment of approximately 952sqm opposite the open greenery of Mont Albert Reserve, this captivating 1920s Bungalow beautifully balances timeless period elegance with extended family functionality in one of Mont Albert North’s most tightly held pockets bordering Mont Albert. Beyond its charming weatherboard façade, picket fence and established gardens, the home immediately reveals the enduring beauty of its era, with soaring ceilings, decorative cornices, polished Baltic pine flooring and original fireplaces creating warmth and character throughout. Designed to evolve with family living, the flexible floorplan currently offers three oversized bedrooms with easy scope for a fourth bedroom conversion if desired, alongside multiple living zones that cater effortlessly to both relaxed day-to-day living and large-scale entertaining. The spacious solid timber kitchen forms the heart of the home, offering generous preparation space, extensive cabinetry and quality appliances, while the adjoining dining room with its open fireplace provides a cosy and inviting atmosphere during the cooler months. At the rear, a beautifully light-filled family living domain opens seamlessly onto an expansive elevated Merbau deck, partially covered for year-round entertaining and overlooking the deep established backyard — a truly exceptional outdoor setting rarely found this close to the city. The accommodation is further enhanced by two bathrooms, a full laundry, gas ducted heating, additional gas space heating, reverse-cycle cooling, ceiling fans and a lock-up garage/workshop. Comfortable and immediately enjoyable as is, the property also presents outstanding future potential for a luxury renovation or extension, while the substantial landholding offers exciting possibilities for a brand-new prestige residence or multi-dwelling redevelopment (STCA). Positioned within walking distance to Mont Albert Village cafés, parklands and transport, and moments from Mont Albert Primary School, Box Hill Central, Westfield Doncaster and the Whitehorse Road shopping precinct, this is a rare opportunity to secure character, land and lifestyle in a premier family location.
