242 Gardeners Road, Rosebery NSW 2018

Renovated full brick house | north-facing garden | opposite Grand Eastlakes | auction guide $2M This property offers a rare combination of free-standing full brick construction and a north-facing landscaped garden in a sought-after Rosebery pocket, which directly supports premium positioning against nearby semi-detached or strata-titled alternatives. The bespoke kitchen, defined living zones, and sunroom off the master create a floorplan that suits both family living and entertaining, while the 537–540 m² land size with only 26% site coverage leaves meaningful scope for future enhancement. It is best suited to owner-occupiers seeking a low-maintenance period home with immediate lifestyle amenity, or to buyers who value long-term land value over short-term rental yield. The primary risk is the auction price guide of $2M, which sits above the upper end of Domain’s high-confidence valuation of $1.94M, meaning the buyer may need to stretch beyond conservative estimates to secure the property. The single retro bathroom and absence of a second toilet may deter some families, and the property’s prior listing in 2024 at $2.1M without sale suggests the market previously did not support that level. However, the north-facing rear deck and established gardens are difficult to replicate in this corridor, and the location opposite Grand Eastlakes with walkable dining and transport reduces vacancy risk if later leased. Hold this property as a long-term family home or reposition it with a modest bathroom upgrade to lift its appeal for the next buyer cycle.
