Impressively set within a picturesque north-facing garden with a tennis court, this magnificent Federation residence's utterly captivating dimensions are spectacular in scale, breathtaking in period allure and unbridled in potential. Magnificently set upon one of Burwood's largest residential sites of approximately an acre (4,148sqm) "Del Osa'' represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure one of Burwood's finest residential properties on Appian Way, recognised as one of Australia's premier Federation precincts.

Appian Way, also known as the Hoskins Estate, was developed in the early 1900s by wealthy industrialist George J Hoskins and was originally known as Humphreys Paddock. Hoskins acquired the land in 1903, with the homes constructed around an oval-shaped village green. Tightly held and widely celebrated, this prestigious landmark is located just 12km (approx) from Sydney's CBD, less than 15 mins walk from Burwood's vibrant shopping strip and station, and within easy access to some of Sydney's most sought-after private schools.
