Few homes offer such breadth of raw potential as this charming c.1925 residence, set on a picturesque high-side block less than 750 metres from Artarmon village. Loaded with sought-after features, and all-original throughout, it's the perfect blank canvas for a builder or renovator, or for a family seeking to break into this blue-ribbon suburb.

Oversized in design and inspiring in every way, the property boasts a variety of comfortable living areas including a formal lounge, separate formal dining complete with a brick fireplace, a sunroom and a grand-scale family zone. Strong vintage character is one of its hallmarks - with high ceilings, leaded glass windows, picture rails and French doors present through the lower level - while an upstairs extension adds two further bedrooms and a second bathroom to the floor plan.

Benefiting from a sundrenched north aspect, the child-friendly backyard comes complete with an entertainers' patio and wonderful privacy amid leafy gardens and greenery. The home also offers built-in wardrobes and air-conditioning in all four bedrooms and living area, a wine cellar plus a secure workshop, solar power with dual battery backup and off-street parking. With vast scope for modern revamp or luxury renovation (STCA), this is an exceptionally attractive project opportunity.

On a generous 695.6sqm block providing peaceful enjoyment and prime convenience in equal measure, this solid property is well-placed to savour every element of Artarmon living. Young and established families alike are sure to appreciate its proximity to quality primary and high schools, transport links and cafes, not to mention fantastic recreational amenities, with the multi-use Cordia Way trailhead to Artarmon Reserve just around the corner.
