Endless Potential on 836sqm Approx. - Neat Original Home in Prime Reservoir Pocket

Proudly positioned on a generous, flat block of approximately 836sqm, this much-loved and immaculately kept residence at 41 Hughes Parade presents a compelling opportunity in one of Reservoir's most convenient and well-established pockets. Offered for the first time in decades, this solid brick veneer home combines immediate comfort with outstanding future potential, making it ideal for homebuyers, renovators, or those looking to create a bespoke family residence through extension or a complete rebuild (STCA).

Set behind a wide frontage and framed by well-maintained gardens, the home offers a timeless sense of character, complemented by modern liveability thanks to a functional open-plan layout. At the heart of the home lies a spacious open plan living, dining, and kitchen zone, where natural light pours through large windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere ideal for everyday living and family gatherings.

The well-equipped kitchen, although original in style, offers ample storage, generous bench space, and a practical footprint that can be easily enhanced or reimagined. The adjoining meals and living areas flow seamlessly together, providing a versatile space that connects easily to the expansive rear yard-perfect for entertaining or enjoying quiet outdoor moments.

Three generously sized bedrooms are thoughtfully zoned for privacy, each offering large windows and built-in robes, and are serviced by a central family bathroom with separate WC. Additional features include a full laundry, gas heating, ceiling fans, and excellent storage throughout the home.

Outdoors, the property really shines. The vast, flat backyard offers plenty of scope for future extension, landscaping, or the construction of a brand-new residence (STCA), while still leaving space for gardens, recreation, or outdoor entertaining. The wide side drive provides ample off-street parking, easily accommodating multiple vehicles, trailers, or work vehicles-an increasingly rare and valuable asset.

Situated in a quiet, tree-lined street surrounded by quality homes and friendly neighbours, the location is second to none. You're within walking distance to Ruthven Train Station, Reservoir Views Primary School, parks and reserves, and just minutes from the vibrant café and retail precincts of Broadway and Edwardes Street. Nearby transport options and major arterials ensure seamless connectivity to the CBD and surrounding suburbs.

Whether you're looking to move in and enjoy, refresh and personalise, or unlock the full value of the land with a brand-new home, 41 Hughes Parade is a rare offering with boundless potential in a high-demand, growth-focused suburb.

Land, location, and lifestyle-this is a property that promises exceptional rewards for the future.
