Expressions of Interest - Closing Tuesday 15th September at 5pm (Unless Sold Prior)
Set in a quiet Preston–Thornbury pocket, on the south side of Bell Street, 16 Foley Avenue presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a substantial 537sqm allotment with the space, flexibility and potential to create, enhance or reimagine something truly your own.
This much-loved home is immediately comfortable and largely in its original condition, offering an authentic sense of its era and an exciting blank canvas for renovators, builders and buyers with vision. Generous proportions, high ceilings and abundant natural light provide a surprisingly spacious foundation, while original timber floors and expansive windows add warmth and character.
The large living room is a particular highlight, enjoying excellent natural light and a leafy outlook, while both bedrooms are well proportioned. The adjoining kitchen and meals area retains its distinctive original cabinetry, timber floors and retro detailing, providing plenty of scope to renovate and create a more contemporary kitchen and living environment.
Outside, the property's prized north-facing rear garden is a significant advantage, capturing natural sunlight throughout the day and providing an ideal orientation for future living areas, entertaining spaces, landscaping or an extension. With mature trees, established planting and generous proportions, the backyard offers both immediate usability and exceptional scope for the future.
A separate bungalow adds valuable versatility as a studio, home office, retreat or workshop, complemented by a double garage, additional off-street parking and a garden shed.
The opportunity here is clear: retain and enhance the existing home, undertake a substantial renovation and extension, or explore the possibilities of a new home on this generous, north-facing allotment (STCA).
Positioned in a highly desirable Preston pocket close to the Thornbury border, the property is within easy reach of Thornbury Station, High Street's cafés, restaurants and tram services, Preston Market, Northland Shopping Centre, local schools and a host of parks and recreational amenities.
For buyers seeking land, location and genuine potential rather than another finished renovation, 16 Foley Avenue represents an opportunity to secure a substantial Preston holding with one of its most desirable attributes already in place.
North-facing land, original character and genuine scope to create something exceptional — the vision is yours to bring to life.
