Light-filled living in Rosanna's most sought-after pocket

Tucked away behind established gardens, 3 St James Road is a beautifully presented two-storey home that makes the most of its light, space and leafy outlook. A striking façade of timber and rich brick gives way to a home that feels bright, open and welcoming from the moment you step inside.

At the heart of the home is a huge open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Sunlight pours in through expansive double-glazed windows and sliding doors, and the whole space opens to a large, low-maintenance outdoor area. The kitchen has generous bench space, a gas cooktop, dishwasher and breakfast bar, so it suits family dinners as well as entertaining.

The ground floor master suite is a private retreat, complete with a walk-in robe and renovated ensuite. A separate powder room on the ground floor keeps things convenient for guests. Upstairs are two further spacious bedrooms, each with a built-in robe, central bathroom, plus a sunny study nook that looks out to the treetops. It’s ideal for working from home or the perfect spot for the kids to do their homework.

Established gardens frame the property front and back. The private courtyard is a peaceful spot for morning coffee or alfresco meals, and it needs very little upkeep. A lock-up garage and approx. 360sqm of land complete the package.

Rosanna is one of Melbourne’s favourite north-eastern pockets, loved for its leafy streets and village feel. Rosanna Station on the Hurstbridge line puts the city within easy reach, and Rosanna Village is close by for cafés, shops and everyday essentials. Nearby are Rosanna Parklands and the Yarra and Banyule Flats trails for weekend walks and rides. Heidelberg Village, the Austin Hospital and a choice of well-regarded schools are all easily accessible too.

Light, space and low-maintenance living in a location this convenient is a combination that won’t come along often.
