3 Yenda Ave, Queens Park NSW 2022, Australia

An enduring family favourite, this double-fronted c1920 California bungalow classic cuts a fine figure with its sunny front garden and classic good looks but it’s the potential here that makes the freestanding home such a fantastic opportunity. In a secret pocket of Queens Park, tucked away in a leafy cul-de-sac just up from the park grounds, the north-facing home holds a prized corner position and comes with DA approved plans by architect George Matsos for a sympathetic redesign that celebrates the past and makes way for the new with approval for a second storey addition and double basement garaging. All the original charm is here brightened up by a recent renovation and featuring a party sized pool making the three-bedroom home ideal to live in as is or to capitalise on the development approval and build a luxurious parkside residence. Timeless elegance and exciting potential are offered in equal measure in a lifestyle hub adjacent to a laneway leading to the heart of Bondi Junction, Westfield and the station with great schools all around.
