3 Edgcumbe Terrace, Rosslyn Park

A block of 1,152 square metres (approx.) with a frontage of 18.9 metres (approx.) in Rosslyn Park, a few doors from The Parade, and it works two ways. For a family, it is a freestone home already updated in the rooms that matter, zoned for two primary schools and Norwood International High School. For an investor or builder, it is the width and depth to extend, start again on a blank canvas, or explore subdividing and building two, subject to council approval, and buyers should make their own enquiries with the City of Burnside.

In the meantime it is a genuinely comfortable home to live in or to lease. A timber-floored lounge and adjoining dining room are bookended by picture windows that frame garden at both ends, so light arrives from the front and back of the house through the day. The kitchen has been completely refurbished, white and bright, with moulded cabinetry, a stainless steel gas cooker, rangehood and dishwasher. There are up to three bedrooms, or two and a study, with a whole wall of built-in robes in the largest, and a big central bathroom with both shower and tub, updated with a new vanity and tapware.

Split-system air conditioning, ceiling fans and a slow combustion heater in the lounge keep it comfortable year round, and the tiled laundry with guest powder room opens off the kitchen, the hallway and the verandah. Out the back, pebbled paths run through citrus trees and veggie beds to quiet seating under the shade trees.

Edgcumbe Terrace is lined with mature gum trees and sits a few doors from The Parade, with city-bound buses running along it. The supermarket at Magill Village handles the quick shop, with larger supermarkets at Norwood close by. Penfolds Magill Estate, the historic vineyard with its cellar door and restaurant, is just around the corner, and Kensington Gardens Reserve, the largest recreation ground in the City of Burnside, is a short trip away with the Burnside Adventure Playground, ovals, hard and grass tennis courts, a creek, wetland and fitness circuit and a nature play space.

For families, the home is zoned for both Burnside Primary School and Magill School, and for Norwood International High School, with the eastern suburbs' independent schools, including Pembroke, within easy reach. Zones can change, so buyers should make their own enquiries with the Department for Education.

Few holdings in this pocket combine a wide, workable block of 1,152 square metres (approx.) with a home that is comfortable and complete as it stands. That combination is what keeps every option open.

Rosslyn Park is a small, tightly knit pocket where few homes change hands each year, and blocks of this size with this much latitude are seldom offered, so early inspection is encouraged.
