The property has dual frontage.
McGrath — Blacktown’s Joel Hollings said the potential buyer has the potential to develop the site into child care centre or subdivide the block into three.
“The facade of the house has to stay, but apart from that, the land and interiors are a blank canvas,” he said.
While there is a huge development upside to the home, majority of interest so far has come from owner occupiers attracted to the large block in suburban Sydney.
“The land size is certainly attractive as it allows for someone to have an acreage lifestyle without needing to leave the city,” he said.
Inside has a mix of modern and character interiors.
The attic upstairs has a rumpus room.
Named Four Oaks, the property was constructed in the 1800s for the Howard Family, who were an early orcharding family in the district.
It was originally a single storey home on 40ha built from Parramatta sandstock bricks and featured a pitched gabled roof and two dormer windows.
The house still retains much of its character charm such as high ceilings, a converted attic, handmade glass windows and three fireplaces. It also has a modern kitchen and living area that flows out to a covered outdoor space, a six-car garage and manicured lawns.
“Everything is rock solid and still in great condition, which isn’t always the case for a house this old,” Mr Hollings said.
The property could be subdivided or converted into a child care centre.
Mr Hollings said the property offers excellent value for something on the doorstep of Parramatta and Blacktown.
“If you break the guide down to per sqm, you are not going to find anything else in the area for that price,” he said.
“Property in Seven Hills remains undervalued, but area has so potential with the emergence of Parramatta as the next CBD and the redevelopment underway in Blacktown.
Four Oaks is for sale via private treaty.
