Welcome
24 Melrose Street is an Art Deco style home, and is over 60 years old and is directly opposite the Mont Albert Reserve. It is a neighbouring suburb to Mont Albert, Surrey Hills, Balwyn, and Box Hill. It is also handy to other local suburbs including Kew, Hawthorn, Camberwell, and Canterbury. We are close to the Eastern Freeway, and this gives you direct access to the inner suburbs of Melbourne and access to the Frankston freeway.
Melrose is just over a kilometre from the Box Hill shopping centre, and is in easy walking distance to the retail shops, major banks, and other facilities. This includes the local Box Hill Hospital, Library, Police station, and the main tram, train and bus services based at the Box Hill Transport Interchange Centre. There is also the local bus 612, which stops at 24 Melrose St, and goes to Camberwell Junction, Chadstone and the Box Hill shopping centre.
Retail shops in the Box Hill Centro shopping centre include, Safeway, Coles, Big W, and Harris Scarfe. Food shops include, Mcdonald’s, Subway,
Bakers Delight, KFC, Box Hill RSL Club and many different Asian cafes and restaurants. The Doncaster Westfield Shopping Centre and the Balwyn shopping centre are about 5 - 10 minutues by car and up to 15 minutes maximun by public transport.
Melrose has a very well established mature garden and this property would be ideal for an extension to the existing house and / or would be suitalbe for a self contained studio / office on the lower rear level.
The land size is approx. 860 sq/metres or around 9,250 sq/feet. It also has rear lane access (14 feet wide) to the property from Malvern Road, and you can park a trailer or a car on the rear of the property. Some of the neighbours have built a double garage at the back of their property.
The original owner, Frank Skidmore, a local bricklayer and builder, built the house and owned it for approximately 15 years. We have tried to retain the original character of the property with it’s Art Deco features. We have owned Melrose for over 20 years and we are now looking to move to regional Victoria. We will miss the friendly neighbours, local shops, medical facilities and easy access to all public transport.
