17 Allister Avenue, Merivale

Set along one of Merivale's most discreet and desirable avenues, this substantial residence offers an opportunity to restore, rebuild, or reimagine in a location where offerings are few and far between. While this home is being sold in an 'as is, where is' uninsured and earthquake damage state, it boasts a strong architectural presence and private orientation, delivering scale through lofty ceilings and a layout shaped for both impact and practicality. Herringbone timber floors introduce the ground level, where the master suite is thoughtfully positioned alongside an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. Everyday living unfolds across a series of well-connected spaces, led by the open-plan kitchen and dining area that flows into two side-by-side lounges. The most striking is the central lounge, where towering windows and over height doors bring drama and volume before opening to an outdoor setting defined by privacy, poolside appeal, and an entertainer's patio framed by established gardens. Upstairs, two bathrooms and attic storage are linked by a gallery-style walkway that adds definition and architectural interest to the home's second level. Practicality is addressed at ground level with double garaging, a full laundry, and a dedicated storage room offering functional support. Positioned between the green sweep of Elmwood Park and the gates of Elmwood School, this address places you within reach of Merivale and elite schooling while retaining an exceptional sense of retreat. With ownership dating back to 1995, the next chapter belongs to those ready to restore the existing residence or explore an entirely new direction.
