On a prime corner in the prestigious Hassett Estate, magnificent “Penrose” offers the perfect combination of period elegance and luxuriously renovated family accommodation on an impressive 700sqm(approx.). For more than a century, the precinct has enjoyed an enviable reputation for its premium family homes and peaceful tree-lined streets surrounded by leading schools, transport, parkland and renowned shopping and dining. Penrose exemplifies this excellence. Large and luxurious behind a high fenced secure entry, four bedroom plus study accommodation offers ideal family flexibility with multiple living and entertaining areas catering effortlessly to the everyday family dynamic as well as easy get-togethers or grand scale entertaining.
