In a bustling North Essendon Village setting lauded for its shopping, cuisine, and café culture, this modest home and sizeable holding offer the option to avoid lengthy council processes and build to endorsed plans, or capitalise on Business zoning and start anew with a landmark commercial venture. Behind a red-brick façade, the home's layout provides two bedrooms, a bathroom, lounge/meals area, and kitchen, able to be leased in its current condition or refreshed for additional income in preparation for a build. With minimal red tape between settlement and start date, approved plans detail a five-level complex featuring:

•A full-level, first-floor residence with 4 bedrooms

•Two second-floor apartments, each with 2 bedrooms

•A pair of four-bedroom, two-storey homes spanning third and fourth floors

•Ample parking, high-end materials, and outstanding proportions With scope to specify luxuriously in an affluent and exclusive Essendon neighbourhood, the site sits just steps from Lincoln Park's open expanses and farmers markets, local institution The Linc, scattered restaurants and cafés, a Coles supermarket, lively Keilor Road, and trams bound for the city centre, while near prestigious schools, Essendon/Glenbervie Stations, free/tollways, DFO, and the Maribyrnong River.
