A young couple planning to start a family has purchased a three-bedroom 1930s home at 7 Babbage Road, Roseville, for $3,745,000. The sale, reported on May 23, 2026, reflects the tightening housing stock on Sydney's upper north shore.
The property, which last traded in 2016 for $2.1 million, underwent renovations before the sale. The auction attracted multiple bidders, with the final price exceeding the reserve by $245,000, according to the selling agent from Ray White.
The couple, who had been searching for six months, were drawn to the home's original features, including high ceilings and a fireplace. The market in the area has seen a 12% drop in listings compared to the same period last year, contributing to competitive bidding.
