Set on 230sqm of level land originally occupied by an historic carriageman’s cottage in the mid-to-late 1800s, this wide double-fronted home c1900 offers superb scope to create the dream lifestyle just minutes from the heart of Sydney CBD. It’s tucked away in one of Glebe’s quiet laneway-like streets and features a floorspace ratio of 1:1 providing an opportunity to build up to a possible 9m for additional accommodation and city views (STCA).
The home is available for the first time in almost 45 years and holds many treasured memories for its current owners. Interiors are rich in character and immediately liveable, with a functioning kitchen and bathroom, three bedrooms, a study and substantial attic area. Outdoors is a large pergola, north facing garden and workshop/storage shed.
Families, renovators or developers looking to capitalise on the existing dwelling and its extension or rebuild potential (STCA) will certainly recognise the opportunity and value of this classic Glebe address.
The location, too, adds significant incentive for buyers at almost every stage of life. Just a short walk to Glebe Point Road cafes, restaurants and bars, the Blackwattle Bay foreshores, Broadway Shopping Centre and the redeveloping Sydney Fish Markets precinct. It also enjoys proximity to Central station, buses and the light rail, with leading educational institutions such as Ultimo TAFE, Sydney Uni/UTS and the highly regarded International Grammar School all within comfortable walking distance.
