WELCOME HOME

'Potential' is the first word that springs to mind. Perched high on a massive 819sqm wedge in Strathmore's exclusive Rosebank Estate, this Californian Bungalow has a combination of features won't find anywhere else: a separate 1BR unit, city skyline views, gardens for days, and original period features like lead-light windows and ceiling roses.

In other words, it's primed for either a stunning reno or a full rebuild (STCA). Maybe something like this sharp, modern concept design. Let's talk amenities. You've got a lock-up garage, kitchen with gas cooker, two spacious bedrooms, a north-facing courtyard and a central bathroom. Strathmore Station is just around the corner, or you can be in the CBD in under 30 minutes (via the M2). With great parks and cafés nearby, plus zoning for Strathmore High School, this could be the perfect family home.
