Bible Belt

Seems to be a rush of homes with potential in Bible Street a the moment. The following home is at 98 Bible Street Eltham. Needs some work but the external stone cladding and internal timber lining has got huge potential!

Charteris Drive

I have a bit of a 'thing' for steel windows. Probably because I have them in my own home but they are slim lined, easy to use, and give homes an architectural feel - particularly when painted in a dark colour (my long term plan!). This home at 35 Charteris Drive Ivanhoe has steel windows and an unusual Deco style curved window to the front of the house. Somehow I think even in the 1950's that the Art Deco period was looked on as a glorious time! I also love crazy paving and the landscaping at this home displays it in spades!

Warren Piece

74 Warren Road Viewbank. Great 60's style but needs work on the 'updated' kitchen & bathroom. Stunning views and great location though. Another one I need to check out over the weekend!!

Long way to the Top....If you want a Mid-Century Home

In pretty fabulous original condition is 32 Longs Road Lower Plenty. Check out the shine on that copper hood, the perfect bluestone toned feature wall, the warmth of the original terracotta tiled floor, the streamlined 'modern' kitchen and minimal lowline facade. I might even get along to the inspection of this one myself!

This is a great house and the location - backing onto parkland - is superb. If you are looking to buy a family house in a tucked away part of Melbourne still close to the city, then this would be perfect!!
