25 Fern Street, Islington NSW 2296

Just steps from Islington Espresso and an easy wander to Beaumont Street's culinary hub, this classic double-fronted home blends early-century charm with modern ease on an easily managed 230 sqm block - ideal for first home buyers craving a foothold in a fast-moving suburb. Timber floors and high ceilings frame the open living and dining zone, while the updated kitchen offers a welcoming space to cook up a storm. Two bedrooms sit toward the front, with a flexible third at the rear ready to morph into a studio, office or guest retreat space. A north-soaked backyard delivers a dedicated space for alfresco dining along with a lawned area for your four-legged companions, and the combined bathroom/laundry keeps life simple. With Hamilton Station and Islington Park at your fingertips and the city's best cycle routes at your doorstep, this is both a lifestyle pick and a smart investment or development opportunity - especially with mixed-use zoning and the rare option to secure neighbouring 27 Fern Street.
