Rosanna

Some homes arrive quietly. This one arrives with opportunity written all over it. Set behind a classic brick and wrought iron fence, this substantial clinker red brick residence offers the kind of space, character and land that sparks the imagination the moment you see it. Mature fruit trees frame a welcoming front garden, soft lawn stretches across the frontage, and double gates open to a long driveway that hints at just how much room lies beyond. And that’s before you even step inside. A security entrance adds peace of mind before a grand double front door reveals a wide, impressive foyer — the sort of entrance hall rarely found in modern homes. Built-in cupboards line the space, thick carpets soften every step, and beautiful period light fittings glow beneath elegant architraves, setting the tone for the character within. From here, the home unfolds with generous proportions at every turn. The formal lounge and dining room is truly vast, crowned by towering ceilings that create a wonderful sense of scale. Sheer curtains drape beneath decorative pelmets while a wood fire forms the cosy heart of the room — perfect for winter evenings that stretch long into the night. The kitchen sits nearby, practical and perfectly functional with its stainless steel gas cooktop and under-bench oven. It’s a space that works comfortably as it stands, yet also presents a clear opportunity for future transformation when the time feels right. A sunroom spills out toward the backyard, drawing natural light through the home and offering the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a quiet afternoon retreat. The accommodation is equally generous. The master bedroom features built-in dual robes and a thoughtful alcove ideal for a bedhead setting, while two additional family bedrooms provide comfortable space, one with views across the backyard garden. A central bathroom, separate toilet and large laundry complete the practical layout. Step outside and the true scale of the property reveals itself. The backyard is wide, flat and wonderfully usable — a huge canvas of lawn framed by mature trees. A covered patio area invites relaxed outdoor living, while the enormous double garage offers not only parking but valuable workshop space. There’s also a chicken coop ready for backyard hobbyists and plenty of additional secure parking behind gates. Features such as external security blinds, continuous flow gas hot water and split system air conditioning ensure the home remains comfortable while future plans take shape. And the possibilities here are significant. You could renovate and breathe new life into this solid classic while living comfortably along the way. You could explore adding a second dwelling at the rear. Or you might consider the site’s potential for a larger redevelopment project down the track - all subject to council approval. The location only strengthens the opportunity. Positioned in a wonderfully central pocket, you’re moments from Rosanna Village, within easy reach of Heidelberg and its major medical precincts, surrounded by quality schools, close to Rosanna Parklands and supported by excellent public transport. Homes with this level of versatility, land and long-term potential rarely appear. This is not just a property. It’s a project, an investment, a family home — and possibly the beginning of something much bigger.
