Seaford, VIC 3198
Land Size: 551 m²
Property Type: House
Listing Type: Residential

Summary: AUCTION this Saturday 12.00pm
Description: Brilliant Beachside Opportunity. A quaint, quiet setting reveals Seaford's next great opportunity. Hidden amongst the native foreshore themed garden sits an original 2-bedroom timber home. While the interior has seen better days, this approximately 551sqm block presents an affordable land holding in one of Seaford's most desirable beachside pockets. Ripe for renovation, or detonation, this is the chance to create something truly special for your family's next chapter. While an extension or knock down rebuild are most suitable, the block size and wide street frontage do hold subdivision potential (STCA). Attunga crescent sits in the Northern tip of Seaford near the border with Carrum, wedged between the creek and the wetlands. It boasts easy walking access to the magnificent Seaford beach, local shops, Riviera Park, Seaford North Primary School, Patterson River Secondary College and Carrum train station. With so much potential at an affordable price point, this is a property you'll want to put at the top of your inspection list.
