Set within a whisper-quiet and tightly held crescent surrounded by some of the district's finest homes, this original brick and tile bungalow presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial landholding in one of Russell Lea's most peaceful bayside pockets.

Held within the same family for decades, the four-bedroom home is offered in neat, original condition and provides immediate comfort with outstanding future potential. Whether you choose to renovate and extend the existing cottage, move in and enjoy as is, or design a striking new residence befitting the prestigious streetscape, the possibilities here are endless.

The true standout feature is the exceptionally wide 22.86 metre frontage, opening the door to a range of redevelopment opportunities (STCA), including the potential for luxury duplex construction or a substantial architectural family home with impressive street presence.

Adding further versatility is an oversized freestanding four-car garage positioned adjacent to the home with additional off street parking for multiple vehicles.This unique structure offers remarkable flexibility - ideal for trades, storage, business use, or classic car enthusiasts for the ultimate man cave. There is scope to enhance the garage and potentially separate it from the home, creating additional rental income or retain it for your own personal use.

From a future design perspective, a second-level addition would likely capture elevated outlooks back towards the water and city skyline, further enhancing the value prospects of a new home or duplex.

The location is first class … peaceful, leafy and within walking distance of city buses and the forthcoming Five Dock Metro. Elite private schools across Burwood, Strathfield, Summer Hill, Croydon and Stanmore are easily accessible, while bayside parklands and waterfront walks are moments away.

Opportunities with this level of frontage, flexibility and long-term upside are rarely offered. This is a property with genuine X-factor, a blank canvas in a premium setting where imagination and vision will be rewarded.
