5 Albemarle Avenue, Rose Bay NSW

A simply magnificent freestanding 4-bedroom house in a blue-chip Rose Bay location, minutes from shopping, schools, ferries, and beaches, this serene home offers note-perfect Eastern Suburbs living complete with front LUG and huge sun-soaked yard. Set directly opposite Rose Bay Public School, it effortlessly blends the charming details of its c1920s construction with a carefully curated modern touch, standing as a superb contemporary home appealing to a wide range of potential new owners.

Presenting to the street in beautiful fashion with 2 soaring palm trees heralding its presence, a grassed lawn and manicured gardens lead to a N-facing porch. Flowing into the home, interiors are framed by soaring 3m ceilings, period archways, and golden timber floorboards, creating a timeless sense of elegance. A front living area is a sunny space with fireplace, perfect for relaxed living, with an adjoining formal dining room interconnecting with the hallway and the rear kitchen/2nd living area.

The front master bedroom is a delightful space with direct connection to an ensuite, while 2 further bedrooms are located off the hallway, one with built-in robes and the other with scope for use as an office/study. At the rear, a light-filled, flexible living area adjoins the large gas kitchen, with a further modern bathroom and an excellent private bedroom with built-in robes, all flowing to a sheltered courtyard and onto the vast backyard, highlighted by a landmark Moreton Bay fig tree that defines this wide grassed space. A sun-blessed outdoor zone, this lovely yard is wonderful for entertaining and easy family living, offering brilliant scope for the addition of a pool (STCA).

An exceptional opportunity in one of Rose Bay's best streets, it is a level walk to both Old South Head Rd and New South Head Rd, offering a huge range of amenities and quick access to Bondi and harbour favourites such as Vaucluse and Watson's Bay, with Rose Bay ferries within an easy walk. Beautiful as-is with no further expense needed for an outstanding Eastern Suburbs lifestyle, it also offers scope for personal renovation, capitalising on its large 581sqm (approx.) block and potentially adding a 2nd level (all STCA). With huge roof storage and a separate LUG at the front, this rare opening in this sought-after neighbourhood is a much-loved home ready and waiting for the new owners to enjoy its next chapter.
