What homes to see this weekend

10am
9 Orchard Street, Pymble
Guide: $1.65m – $1,765,000
4 bed, 1 bath, 2 car

There has been a huge number of inquiries and at least one offer already made for this single-level house because of a demand for older houses on the upper north shore that can be knocked down or renovated. Its kitchen and bathroom have already been updated and its light-filled living and dining rooms each flow out to an alfresco setting positioned on either side of the house. The front main bedroom also has a balcony and there are established gardens with a gently sloping lawn at the rear.
