Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own one of the closest 5 acre blocks to the CBD; one of the last multiple acre properties in Manningham. An elevated position with city views, a stunning bushland setting and convenient location bordering three roads spell out unlimited possibilities. Minutes from Eastlink and the Pines, this impressive home has the size and scope to become a bed and breakfast, function centre or luxury retirement village. Stretching over 90 squares, the five-bedroom residence with four living areas was ahead of its time when constructed in the 70s. Huge picture windows in every room showcase the peaceful, country-like setting, while oversized rooms, multiple verandas and porches, a free-form pool and tennis court make it ideal for entertaining. Additional features include a 6-car garage with workshop, formal and casual dining areas, huge open fireplace and superior double-brick construction on a suspended concrete slab. Decidedly retro but exceptionally built, this distinctive home has the potential to become something great.
