A Sydney factory combining commercial and residential spaces has hit the market $2.75m and it’s brimming with potential.

Tucked down an unassuming avenue in Rosebery, the converted warehouse could be recalibrated as a large family home or a sizable office space – or both.

The brick-fronted Sydney property – up for auction via BresicWhitney on 1 December – is accessed by double height roller doors, which lead into a huge open plan living and dining area. A multi-desk office area occupies a significant portion of the 400 sqm space, with three bedrooms above.

Rosebery is a draw for foodies, thanks to its burgeoning culinary scene centred around the artisan delis and wine merchants in The Cannery.
