ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY to own a manor home in Newtown’s most prestigious location first time offered in over 50 years!
Occupying an elevated position on the most desirable, tightly held avenue in the Inner West, this home overlooking Hollis Park and located in a row of just eight grand dwellings, offers a magnificent and rare opportunity to acquire this period terrace offering grand proportions over three spacious levels.
The property opens with double formal reception rooms that open via floor-to-ceiling glass doors to a front, tiled terrace area, which puts you more or less in Hollis Park itself. Original fireplaces remain in these reception rooms. The freedom this spacious entertaining area offers is unique with such a majestic view, further enhanced with the advantage of cool southerly breezes in Summer. The property flowing to the rear has a functional eat-in kitchen which acts as a gateway to the studio/casual living rooms and storage space, alongside the north-facing courtyard. There is immense potential here to open up this section and create a home office, study or an alfresco entertaining area for the home.
The bedrooms occupy the top floors with the classic terrace split level layout. The king sized master bedroom boasts a huge additional sunroom with sweeping southward panoramic views. The additional bedrooms are spacious and light filled. The second bedroom has a cosy sunroom with an original fireplace, a fourth with built-ins. The second to fourth bedrooms still retain the original pressed metal ornate ceilings. The bathroom is perfectly functional as is, yet can be updated. The deep block has the availability of rear lane access and the front of the property has the convenience of a lock-up garage, workshop plus an additional parking space.
This is a remarkable prospect to create one of the Inner West’s most prestigious homes and to occupy land in Newtown’s premier location. With Hollis Park at your doorstep creating a tranquil entry to the home and a mere stroll to vibrant King Street and its lifestyle amenities; the benefit of buses, the train stations of Macdonaldtown and Newtown, the popular weekend produce markets at the Carriage Works, this property truly is one of ultimate possibilities. Its ideal location is only 4kms from Sydney’s CBD and also allows for easy access to Sydney University, RPA Hospital, schools, Broadway Shopping Centre and Erskineville Village.
