10 Frances Avenue

Lovingly restored, this former worker's cottage is one of those rare residences with genuine heart, history and soul. Backing directly onto Melrose Park and shrouded in a natural green screen of privacy, it honours its past while catering to modern family living. Spanning two levels, every space has been created to be lived in and loved. Cook up a feast in the chef's kitchen, linger on the integrated daybed as afternoon sunshine filters through the skylight, or curl up beside the gas fireplace on a cosy winter's evening. Outdoors is equally enchanting. Entertain on the elevated deck or fire up the family-sized wood-fired pizza oven by the pavilion while kids enjoy a childhood reminiscent of simpler times. From exploring the fairy garden to splashing through the water-play creek, or riding bikes and scooters through the safe cul-de-sac until dusk, it is a rare dream. Direct gated access to the park adds to the allure, as does the proximity to essential amenities and the strong sense of community among long-established neighbours. Together, it ensures not just an exceptional place to live, but an extraordinary way of life. Experience the warmth and wonder that make this haven so memorable inspect today!
