Victorian Regency Grandeur In A Harbourside Setting, Upscale Living In A Downtown Location
Standing tall and proud at the gateway to the city and harbour, this grand Victorian Regency style terrace holds a prized end-of-row position on the sunny side of a landmark row built in the late 1800s and serving as a gracious reminder of the past. Epic in scale and impeccably appointed, the four-storey terrace overdelivers in terms of space, style and functionality with multiple living areas and flexible living arrangements. A 6m wide frontage and classic good looks make a welcoming first impression, with fine period craftsmanship and tastefully appointed interiors bringing a wow factor. Restored with integrity and renovated in keeping with the quality of the original build, the six-bedroom home offers exceptional value for its size and pedigree with a romantic parterre courtyard for entertaining alfresco and city views from the top floor retreat. With the pulse of city living at the doorstep, this is a home of enduring style and substance just 350m to SCEGGS Darlinghurst, 800m to Sydney Grammar School and 550m to Finger Wharf's celebrated harbourfront dining scene.
