3 Melville Street

In a central well-connected pocket of West Ryde, this all-original property presents a perfect opportunity to further capitalise on an impressive 923sqm parcel. With CDC approval to build two spacious duplexes, you will be able to start building quickly. The residence's interiors are neatly presented and entirely liveable as they are, with high decorative ceilings adding a touch of mid-century charm throughout. Solid double brick construction provides an ideal starting point for renovation or extension, though the block's generous dimensions make it incredibly attractive as a duplex redevelopment site. Offering outstanding everyday convenience, it's only a one kilometre walk from West Ryde's colourful village shopping strip and train station, or Top Ryde City's bustling retail and dining precinct. Carara Reserve and the local kids' playground are also just a 400 metre walk away, and there are city-bound buses 150 metres away on Parkes Street. - CDC Approved for two substantial, 5 bedroom duplexes - Traditional single level layout, separate living and dining areas - Electric kitchen, additional wraparound family space/sunroom - Extensive backyard lined with trees, ample space to add value - Three large bedrooms, full bathroom, separate fourth bed/study - Gated side driveway to backyard and lock-up garage/workshop - Endless scope to reinvent or rebuild on generous block - 700m to leafy Anzac Park, 1.6km to Smalls Road Public School - 900m to local cafes, 1.5km to West Ryde Marketplace or Coles - Under 5km to Macquarie Centre, Metro stops and the university
