20 Downing Street

Some properties are defined by what stands on them. This one is defined by what could. Set on approximately 925sqm in one of Blackburn's most sought-after pockets, 20 Downing Street is a genuine opportunity for those with vision. Whether that means building a dream home on a generous, established block, exploring redevelopment potential (STCA), or securing a foothold in a suburb where land of this scale is increasingly rare. The existing weatherboard home offers four bedrooms, all with built-in robes, a central bathroom with separate shower and bath, a separate WC, and a laundry, all laid out across a practical, liveable floorplan. The lounge anchors the main living zone, while the generous family room with split-system air conditioning, ceiling fan, and carpeted floors extends to the rear yard via sliding glass doors. A separate bungalow at the rear includes its own living/kitchen area and bathroom, providing flexible options for guests, extended family, or additional income while plans are made. A garage, two carports, and a garden shed complete the existing home. Outside, a large backyard with established trees and a flat, open lawn gives full appreciation of the land on offer. The location reinforces the opportunity. Blackburn Station is within easy walking distance, placing the CBD well within reach via a direct line service. South Parade's village strip and Box Hill Central, one of Melbourne's major suburban retail, dining, and transport hubs, are both close at hand. Zoned for Laburnum Primary School and Box Hill High School, with parklands nearby, this is an address that will only grow in appeal.
