51 Mcbain Street, Altona

This charming weatherboard home blends original character with modern comforts and outstanding future potential, set on a generous 797 sqm allotment in the heart of Altona. Offering space, flexibility and scope to improve, it’s ideal for growing families, first-home buyers or those looking to renovate or extend (STCA).

The central living room showcases original timber floors, exposed beams and a large skylight that fills the space with natural light. While the home is comfortable to live in as is, it also presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to add value through cosmetic updates and improvements over time. Positioned to overlook the backyard, the living area connects seamlessly to the covered alfresco, making it perfect for everyday family living.

The kitchen and dining area is functional and family-friendly, featuring tiled floors, cornicing, wooden cabinetry, black benchtops and a large window above the sink. There’s ample space for a dining table, with scope to modernise or reconfigure to suit your lifestyle.

Accommodation includes four bedrooms, with the main bedroom offering a generous walk-in robe and a modern ensuite complete with a waterfall shower. The remaining bedrooms are well-sized and fitted with new grey carpet, creating a comfortable and relaxed feel.

The home includes two bathrooms, both thoughtfully designed. One has been modernised to include a freestanding bathtub and frameless shower, while the ensuite stands out with its open, glass-free waterfall shower design.

A dedicated study area provides a practical space for working from home or children’s study.

The outdoor family zone is a true highlight, featuring a fully covered alfresco and outdoor kitchen designed for year-round use. Complete with a built-in charcoal BBQ, rotisserie and wood-fire pizza oven, it’s an ideal space for entertaining, family gatherings or relaxed weekends at home, regardless of the season. The low-maintenance garden and large shed add further appeal, offering storage and room to move.

Additional features include 3-phase power, a 17kW ducted air conditioning system, 6.6kW solar panels, electric gate, sprinkler system and a rear storage/workshop area.

Positioned within walking distance to Altona Village, Harrington Square and Civic Parade, with easy access to Altona Train Station, the home is directly opposite St Mary’s Primary School and zoned for Altona Primary School and Altona College. Cherry Lake, JK Grant Reserve, Altona Pier and Altona Beach are all nearby, allowing you to enjoy Altona’s vibrant lifestyle and strong community feel.

With its substantial land size, comfortable existing home and clear scope for renovation or extension, this is a property offering both lifestyle and long-term potential.
