85 Ruthven Street, Bondi Junction.

A spacious layout, large garden and fantastic location between the leafy serenity of Centennial Park and the urban buzz of Bondi Junction give this three-bedroom terrace enormous appeal. In a top spot around the corner from child-friendly St James Reserve and 600m to the Woollahra Gates to the park, the two-storey home comes with DA approval to transform the Victorian classic into a contemporary masterpiece with approval for a four-bedroom home with basement garaging and a pool in the private backyard. Set on an unusually large 211sqm approx, 'Carlton' is comfortable as is but it's the architect-designed plans for a luxurious three-storey residence that will really make an impression with approval to extend to the boundary and add a top floor home office opening to a sundeck. Move straight in or capitalise on the opportunity to make your mark and build your dream home in the catchment area for Woollahra Public School, walking distance to Westfield's retail hub and 800m to Bondi Junction station. • On the high side of the street with a 7.6m wide frontage • Freestanding to one side with a lock-up garage on title • 3 double bedrooms on the upper level, all with a balcony • King-sized main with a fireplace, bathroom on both levels • Spacious living and dining rooms anchored by fireplaces • Separate casual dining, tidy gas kitchen, large courtyard • DA approved plans to extend to 3 levels plus basement • Approval for 5 beds, master suite, 3 baths and a pool • Family friendly neighbourhood, great schools all around • 750m walk to Bondi Junction station, 850m to Westfield • Stroll to the park grounds, easy access to the city and beaches
