Classic Federation with flexible investment appeal

August 25, 2022

It’s not every day that you come across a property with this much history, character, space and scope, so David Carrozza’s listing of a substantial Federation home at 10 Ramsay Street, Haberfield represents a significant opportunity. Set on approximately 910 square metres of land and offered for the first time in 70 years, the comfortable, potential-packed property is currently configured as three two-bedroom self-contained residences yet offers plenty of versatile options for astute buyers.

The possibilities are endless

You might opt to continue to operate the property as a high-performing rental, which was previously earning approximately $1850 per week when fully tenanted. Alternatively you might want to explore the potential for home-plus-income or return the home to its former glory and convert it back into one single family residence, which would undoubtedly render it one of the area’s most distinguished addresses.

Rich in history and detail

Immaculately presented with a generous floorplan, the home is graced with a host of glorious original details that bestow it with immense charm and character. Soaring patterned ceilings enhance the sense of space and light while timber floorboards add warmth throughout. Intricate fretwork and stained glass are complemented by a number of ornate fireplaces while a tessellated tiled pathway leads up to the traditional covered verandah which enjoys an elevated urban outlook.

More to love

The extra-wide and deep landholding features a level backyard that could easily accommodate a pool (STCA) to create a sensational alfresco haven. The side driveway accesses through to a lock-up garage and shed at the rear, providing off-street parking for at least three cars. A formally landscaped front garden and lawn features an established frangipani tree and sculpted hedge wall, giving it a stately feel.

A vibrant Inner West locale

This unbeatably convenient location enjoys easy access to a number of lively Inner West village hubs, recreational facilities, schools and transport. Take a brief stroll to the heart of cosmopolitan Haberfield, renowned for its vibrant multicultural dining scene, or explore the attractions of Summer Hill and Leichhardt. It’s a 6 minute walk to the Marion Light Rail station, a 9 minute walk to Summer Hill train station and a 10 minute walk to MarketPlace Leichhardt.
