Overview

This charming semi-detached Victorian house is a distinctive blend of period character and practical living space. Its ornate ceiling roses, timber floorboards, and original fireplace evoke a timeless elegance that adds warmth and personality to the home, setting it apart from more contemporary renovations. The floor-to-ceiling library shelving in the sitting room creates a considered yet inviting space, ideal for those who value a balance of aesthetics and comfort.

The layout is designed to maximise both indoor and outdoor living, with an open-plan living and dining area that smoothly flows to a private, sunlit courtyard framed by mature trees. This courtyard acts as a second living zone, providing a serene retreat for all seasons and an attractive venue for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The northeast-facing kitchen benefits from natural light and offers a practical, spacious workspace with a pleasant leafy outlook that enhances the everyday cooking experience.

  • Two generous bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with one featuring floor-to-ceiling built-in robes to maximise storage.
  • A well-maintained bathroom and separate internal laundry enhance functionality and convenience within the home.
  • A large attic presents significant storage capacity and potential for future adaptation or extension, subject to council approval, offering flexibility for growing families or those seeking to personalise their living space.
  • Rear lane access adds rare convenience, easing the challenges of urban living and allowing practical movement to and from the property.

Situated on a level corner block, this residence promises excellent scope for renovation or redesign, enabling owners to create a home that perfectly matches their lifestyle. Its proximity to local amenities such as Camperdown Park, Sydney University, and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, as well as the vibrant King Street shopping and dining precinct, ensures an accessible and engaging community environment. This property will appeal particularly to buyers who appreciate heritage charm combined with the potential for modernisation and the comforts of inner-west living.
