Opportunity abounds!

Welcome to 10 Somerset Crescent, a rare offering set on a generous 1384m2 (more or less) back section, where space, privacy and future potential combine. Offered to the market for the first time since it was built, this solid 1960s, 156m2 five-bedroom home is ready for its next chapter. The main house now needs some love and vision to restore it to its former glory as a much-loved family home, but the possibilities here are what truly set it apart. There is ample room to enhance and expand - whether that's adding a secondary dwelling, creating an entertainer's backyard retreat, extending the established mini orchard, or designing the ultimate playground for children. With space to comfortably park a caravan, boat, or extra vehicles, practicality matches potential. For those with bigger plans in mind, the section itself opens the door to further development. The size and layout lend themselves to multiple dwellings (subject to council approval), or alternatively, a complete rebuild to fully capitalise on this outstanding section. Adding to the appeal is a charming selection of established fruit trees, including lemon, apple, feijoa, pear, peach, along with a thriving grape vine - a reminder of the lifestyle this property can offer. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare. Bring your vision, unlock the potential, and create something truly special.
