0 Comments ,

BULLDOG ruckman Ilija Grgic can expect about $420,000 from the sale of an investment property in Albion – the pocket regarded by residents, and agents, as the nicest part of Sunshine.

The fully renovated three-bedroom weatherboard home in Norwood Street sits on a 607 square metre block and is near Selwyn Park and the Albion train station, some 13 kilometres west of town.

In recent years that train station has been mooted to become a major depot as part of a proposed rail link connecting Melbourne Airport to the CBD, via an existing but largely disused track between Albion and Jacana, which crosses many north-western suburbs.

That Airport rail link proposal would also result in a major upgrade of the Footscray train station – which is just five stops from Albion.
