7 Hourigan Avenue, Clayton, VIC 3168

Located within walking distance of Monash University, Monash Medical Centre and Clayton's vibrant heart, this fascinating five-bedroom home captures attention with its yesteryear charm and period features, providing a world of opportunity for savvy buyers.

Dating back to around 1890, 7 Hourigan Avenue was originally the residence of the Zorn family, who were one of the first to settle in the Clayton area. It is believed the home originally stood on a huge 82 acres of exclusive land, today presenting a relatively rare example of Clayton's grand 19th century architecture.

Nestled on a substantial 1,294sqm block (approx.), the property savours its commanding street presence, showcasing a double-fronted brick facade that's enhanced by a wraparound bullnose verandah, decorative cast-iron lacework, an iron roof and paired eave consoles.

The unique interiors reveal soaring ceilings with ornate cornices and intricate ceiling roses, accentuating the beautiful original fireplaces and decorative stained glass.

Gracefully configured to accommodate formal and casual occasions, the home introduces a large living room and versatile family/meal zone, flowing to the huge timber kitchen which includes elegant parquetry flooring, a walk-in pantry and original range oven.

The five comfortable bedrooms embrace generous dimensions and soothing tones, serviced by the refined master ensuite and a full family bathroom.

Notable finishing touches include a covered outdoor patio to the rear with an additional bathroom and laundry facilities, a flexible sunroom, ducted heating, a large wraparound yard, double garage and adjacent storage shed.

Life in this central pocket of Clayton is ideal for convenience seekers, placing shops, cosmopolitan restaurants and Clayton Station within walking distance.

Clayton North Primary School, St Peter's Primary School and Fregon Reserve can also be reached on foot, plus there's access to Westall Secondary College, M-City and major roads.

Clayton is set to be transformed with the introduction of the Suburban Rail Loop, which will be located within walking distance of the home, while local jobs are predicted to more than double by 2050.

Offering endless potential, the property is perfect for large families and astute investors, plus there's scope to renovate and restore or redevelop the land (STCA).

Unique, endearing and utterly captivating, this cherished period residence awaits its next chapter.
