27 Rochford Street Erskineville, NSW 2043

At the top end of one of Erskineville's most sought-after streets, this classic worker's cottage stands as a true blank canvas, offered in completely original condition and ready for transformation. Available for the first time in half a century and untouched for decades, the single-storey home offers enormous potential for renovators, builders or developers to make their mark. With scope to reimagine the interiors, extend or explore the option of adding a second storey in line with neighbouring homes (STCA), the property represents an increasingly rare opportunity in this tightly held village setting. Currently configured as a two-bedroom layout, the home needs a complete overhaul, but the lifestyle credentials are second to none. Village shops, cafes and pocket parks are all within easy reach, with highly regarded schools and childcare centres just a short stroll away. Offering superb connectivity, it's only 350m to Erskineville station and 600m to Newtown's vibrant dining, retail and entertainment hub.
