Owning property in such an esteemed location is the stuff of dreams for many. Your immediate neighbour enjoys a prestigious Arney Road address (and price), meaning it's not just your outlook that will be elevated here; your entire lifestyle will be too.

With obvious street appeal and a flexible layout that caters for families of all shapes and sizes, it's the big backyard where the potential of this home really shines. Picture your children running and playing safely outdoors on the mostly-flat section. It's an exceptionally private, sun-drenched environment with plenty of space for a pool.

Back inside and mostly on one level, all the bedrooms enjoy generous proportions, and the kitchen and bathrooms have been modernised. Living areas are welcoming and light-filled with gorgeous leadlight windows. The ground level has an oversized rumpus room (or bedroom with ensuite), office, and an internal access double garage.

The owners of this sensationally positioned character home couldn't believe their luck when they bought it. Circumstances have changed, however, and they have moved to Sydney, meaning your dreams can be realised too.
