Even though the eastern suburbs is the most densely populated urban area in Australia, we’re lucky to have some amazing pockets of parkland and natural bushland on the doorstep. There’s no better place to enjoy the great outdoors than Queens Park. Jason Pantzer has listed a beautiful family home at 6 Ashton Street, Queens Park which is so close to Centennial Park that it’s virtually an extension of the backyard while offering an incredible sense of privacy.

The vendor says, “Ashton Street has a great sense of community and a village-like atmosphere that makes it a wonderful place to live. Centennial Park is just around the corner and Queens Park’s a short walk away so it’s perfect for families with so much space to explore without having to drive anywhere. You can literally just drop into the park and enjoy a cuppa or bike ride. We designed the house to adapt to the seasons and changing needs of family life. We love entertaining in the huge open living space that’s flooded in sunshine while the cosy lounge is a great winter retreat and the studio can be used as a home office, au pair suite or granny flat.”

Jason Pantzer and Charlie Beaumont showed 54 groups through the parkside home last Saturday and it will be open again for inspection tomorrow from 12.15pm to 12.45pm. Come and check it out and then enjoy a day in the park as you’ll be just across from the Wild Play Garden and duck ponds. Grab a coffee from the Centennial Park Deli and let the kids run free!

Entry level opportunities in Queens Park are few and far between as the well-heeled suburb comprises mainly family homes but Sean Poche has just listed a two bedroom apartment that’s an ideal market entry. Literally opposite Centennial Park, the boutique apartment at 1/47 York Road, Queens Park is framed by leafy gardens with no common walls and easy level access. Sean says, “The renovated garden apartment suits all ages and demographics with secure level access and a lock-up garage. With an auction guide of $900K, it’s a great entry opportunity and will be open for inspection tomorrow from 10.00am to 10.30am.”

The team has secured eight sales over the past week and listed 14 new properties from inner city studios to family beach houses
