Avondale Heights is wrapped almost entirely by the Maribyrnong River, and that's what sets it apart. The best streets sit up on the rise, the river and parkland below them and the city on the skyline, an outlook that never gets built out. People who own those blocks know exactly what they have. As luxury home builders in Avondale Heights, we design one-off homes built around the river outlook and the way your block sits, the sort of home the position deserves.
Much of Avondale Heights is original 1960s brick-veneer housing on the big blocks that were standard back then. A lot of those homes have run their course, and on a riverside or elevated block especially, the value is in the land, not the house. A knockdown rebuild lets you keep that position and replace a dated home with one designed to capture the outlook and suit how you live now. The wide blocks also mean dual occupancy is common here, and on the right site we design two homes that genuinely stand on their own rather than a basic subdivision. One local note: blocks near the river can sit under a flood or building overlay, so what's possible varies street to street, and we check that early.
Every Avondale Heights build starts with us on the block, reading the slope and the outlook before the design begins. If you've got an older home near the river and you're wondering whether it's worth rebuilding, that's the conversation to have early, while the design can still be shaped around the views. We'll tell you honestly whether the block stacks up and how to get the most from the outlook, before you spend anything on plans.
