43A McCulloch Street Nunawading




This precious 378 square metres of bare land in the Paris-end of Nunawading gently faces east, with 11.3 metres of direct frontage and access to 3 acres of parklands.  With 180-degree views, you certainly won’t have that closed-in suburban feel.

With morning sun from the east each morning, you will have the very best of greetings each day, with plenty of passive activity and birds to entertain you.


The remaining portion of the former Orchard, this property provides great appeal to someone wanting to downsize to a house of their own design in a location close to everything – yet with its very own stunning views of the delightful public park.  





You will have a .…
·      3-minute walk to the Whitehorse Theatre and Library complex,and film theatre, local tennis courts and oval
·      5-minute walk to a strip of major shops, including JB HiFi, Harvey Norman and Good Guys
·      short 1.5 kilometre drive from the toll-free end of the Eastern Freeway
·      less than 10-minute walk to Nunawading Station – an easy 40-minute trip to the city – and access to the impressive north-south bus route along Springvale Road
·      choice of both government and private primary and secondary schools within comfortable walking distance
·      5-minute walk to an exciting new community complex currently in development.

The photo below shows just how close you will be to the items above. If you want more detail of the Google map views for each of the sites mentioned, please click here. You will note that Nunawading Christian School ( bottom left) was ranked 48th in the list of top independent high schools in Victoria in 2016.




To make things easy, all services are provided to the site, with sewerage and storm water entries inside rather than right next to the property boundary.  A building envelope of 10m x 15m is established.  Cable network pit ( black square) is located just outside the property to the west










Gate access is provided directly to the park area ,making family recreation easy ,quick and safe.



.




Several times a year there are festivals in the park. You will have front row seats to the fireworks.


Expect the unexpected to pop up --just outside your window - occasionally . 











 
There is plenty of room for development diversity as the long block extends 38 metres to a 11. 3 frontage to the beautifully kept public park below. 
The approved planning permit ensures plenty of room for a carport  and for parking of at least 2 cars.




The block has direct access to views of the park with the ideal layout of  excellent morning sun from the east . While the outstanding uninterruptable views make it sensible to develop two storeys, there is enough space to make the house a basically site level home with great permanent views.
The site is within 10 minutes walk of the new premium Nunawading station ( with lifts ). Public Library and theatre are only several minutes walk away, as are major retail stores . See whats on using the attached link . At the end of the street only 5 minutes walk away to the west  there is a huge community development hub being built with new facilities for a diverse range of hobbies such as lapidary,  community cooking, exercise and dance.

The idea here . Grand designs for public and private open space

As a rural planner with a career in earth science and environmental planing , I've always been interested in how we use land and the resources that are intimately connected to it .

The idea of public space and how we retain it ,use it and develop it  is an important talking point here.
So put your questions and give us some context and links to a story of space that you know or are party to.
