13 Athol Street MOONEE PONDS

Comments on 13 Athol Street MOONEE PONDS

We have rated this home as a land only property - whilst 13 Athol has some special characteristics about it, a significant amount of work will be required to return it to its original beauty. The front four rooms are amazing in terms of size, ceiling heights and ornate features, and the hallway can be described as grand. But beyond this original part of the home will probably require a complete rebuild at some point in the near future. According to the agent, there is beautiful Hawthorn brick beneath the render, which would be in keeping with other homes in the area. The land size, at approx 945sqm, is bigger than most other blocks in the street and does lend itself to a variety of different uses, including being completely redeveloped. The width of the block may overcome the south facing rear by letting light in from the side of house. But this property has such great scope for the brave. Transport, shops and school options are good, although parkland is a little distant. There have been several big sales in the street in the last few years: 10 Athol was sold not that long ago and appears to be in the middle of a serious makeover. Positioned at the high end of the street, the views from this property could be stunning. Heritage is very strong in the area, protecting property values if the home is renovated well. Right in between Ascot Vale and Moonee Ponds shopping hubs, walking distance to a few schools, great location.
