Wow - this property is brimming with potential, and we are looking for smart cookies to realise it! On a superb flat freehold section in an exclusive and established neighbourhood, 18 Mountbatten Avenue is a 1960s weatherboard gem.

A much-loved family home for over 30 years and now ready for a new chapter, bring your vision and reap the rewards. Perfectly loveable and liveable, value can be added over time with a cosmetic renovation if desired.

With a pretty face and kerb appeal, the main home offers four bedrooms with two bathrooms - one of which is an ensuite off the master bedroom. The master bedroom is a super-sized haven at the rear of the home and a smart addition to the original floorplan in 1995.

The kitchen is spacious, functional and open plan into the dining area. It also features a good-sized breakfast bar perfect for coffee catch-ups and a generously sized walk in pantry. French doors open out to the front deck from the lounge to capture the afternoon sun. Warmed by way of a log burner and heat pump, the home is well set up for all the seasons.

The bonus to this property is the garage conversion in 2004 where two attic rooms and a bathroom were added. This flexible space could be used for many purposes such as home offices, teenage hang out spaces, extended family or simply extra storage.

The rear lawn is a fenced blank canvas with plenty of room for children and pets to play and enjoy. In zone for Willowpark School, Northcote Intermediate and Northcote College and close to shopping centres, motorway links and public transport.

Developers and land bankers should also investigate the potential of the flat road frontage 670m2 land on a freehold title that is zoned Mixed Housing Suburban.

If you are on the hunt for a smart purchase where address and location matters and you can chip away at renovations over time, then we would love to meet you here at 18 Mountbatten Ave in popular Hillcrest!
