As unique as it is inspiring, this manor-like Victorian residence offers a taste of country like tranquility in a quiet yet connected city fringe enclave. One of the earliest homes in this tucked-away pocket, the freestanding double-fronted beauty is set behind a deep landscaped front garden affording an impressive sense of arrival as well as an uplifting sense of peace and privacy. Built in 1880, the two storey property has been lovingly restored and renovated with utmost respect for its architectural pedigree to create a home of distinction with a country like feel and alluring views over the rooftops from the upper level that are distinctly Sydney. An oasis of calm, the four-bedroom retains its authentic charm with elegant French doors, high ceilings and a wide iron lace balcony serving as a gracious reminder of the past. Relax in the north facing courtyard at the rear or stroll across to the child-friendly pocket park that's a virtual extension of the idyllic native front garden.
