9 French Street, Croydon, Vic 3136

Quietly positioned in one of Croydon’s most desired pockets, this split-level classic has been held by the same family for over 40 years, and now, the chance to reimagine its future is yours. Set on a generous 836m² (approx.) in the prized Golf Links Estate, it’s an original with heart, character, and the kind of potential that gets renovators and dreamers equally excited.

The home itself is a nod to retro design with its blend of brick and timber, slate floors, floor skimming windows and sunlit angles, yet the layout feels timeless in its practicality. Step inside to discover two distinct living zones - one casual, one formal - each with timber-framed sliding doors that spill onto a front patio where your morning coffee ritual beckons. The family/meals zone connects effortlessly to the original laminate kitchen, complete with gas cooktop, a box window and a breakfast bar for daily catch-ups.

Split across two levels, the bedroom zones offer space and privacy in equal measure. The luxurious main suite feels almost like its own wing, featuring a walk-in robe, ensuite, and a retreat/home office for favourite chapters or Zoom meetings. On the same level, a fourth bedroom or dedicated study offers flexibility. Upstairs again, two more generously robed bedrooms enjoy leafy garden vistas, great light and share a vintage bathroom ready for a bold transformation.

Outside, the backyard is a blank canvas – flat, sunny and waiting for your vision (veggie beds, fire pit, or maybe even a pool - STCA). There’s a lemon tree already on duty, and at the front, traces of the original garden - camellias, rosemary, bay laurel, kahili ginger, geranium and a mulberry tree - are ready to be revived by a green thumb. 

Here, in a street where neighbours throw annual Christmas parties, you’ll find a rare sense of community - quiet, friendly, and proud. And with elite schools, transport, Brushy Creek Trail and Eastland all close by, this home is perfectly positioned for family life, investment, or a lucrative makeover.
