3 Fairfax Street is a charming residence built in 1958 and proudly held by the same family since new. This much-loved home has been the setting for decades of treasured memories, family gatherings, and a deep connection to the local community. Now, the time has come for a new family to enjoy the home, the neighbourhood and the lifestyle for its next chapter.
Built to last and rich in character, the property remains in original condition, offering a wonderful opportunity to renovate and extend over time. The home is filled with natural light throughout the day and enjoys leafy outlooks over the established gardens, creating a sense of calm and privacy rarely found. Recently freshly painted externally, the home presents beautifully from the street and sits proudly on a large block, positioned toward the front to maximise the generous backyard.
The floor plan has a functional layout that has stood the test of time. A light-filled living room at the front of the home flows through to a separate dining area and kitchen, providing comfortable spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom, with a separate toilet and laundry adding everyday practicality. The original garage has been converted into a rumpus or family room, offering a flexible second living area ideal for children, hobbies or relaxed gatherings.
One of the true highlights of the home is the sunroom at the rear, a warm and inviting space that opens directly onto an undercover BBQ nook. This connection creates an effortless indoor–outdoor flow and a wonderful spot to enjoy morning coffee, family meals or relaxed evenings overlooking the garden. The backyard is private, secure and framed by low-maintenance established gardens, with full Colorbond fencing surrounding the entire boundary, making it ideal for children and pets to play safely.
The generous backyard also presents excellent scope to extend out the back when renovating, while retaining the charm and integrity of the original home. Reverse cycle air conditioning ensures year-round comfort, and the peaceful setting combined with the home's solid construction makes it a truly special offering.
The owners have loved the strong sense of community in O'Connor, and the location is exceptional being close to everything that makes the Inner North so highly sought after, including local shops, cafes, schools, parks and easy access to the city. This is a home with heart, history and exciting future potential, ready to welcome its next family.
