5/10-12 Farrell Avenue

Darlinghurst NSW 2010

Positioned within the tightly held and beautifully restored "Montrose", this elegant two-bedroom Art Deco residence offers a rare opportunity to secure a peaceful sanctuary in the vibrant heart of Darlinghurst. Occupying the prized east-facing middle floor of an immaculate c1912 building of only nine residences, the home combines timeless character, generous proportions and an unmistakable air of Parisian charm. Set in a quiet one-way street lined with plane trees opposite pretty Rosebank Park, it enjoys a tranquil village atmosphere just moments from the cafs, restaurants and wine bars of Darlinghurst and Potts Point. Beautifully proportioned interiors feature soaring 3-metre ceilings, period cornices and large windows that draw in abundant natural light throughout the year. The master bedroom opens through elegant French doors to a charming Juliet balcony overlooking the park, while both bedrooms include built-in wardrobes. Immediately comfortable as is, the residence also offers exciting scope to further enhance its value and lifestyle appeal. A simple kitchen reconfiguration could enhance the flow to the spacious living area and create an inviting setting for contemporary entertaining. Existing carpeting conceals polished original tallowwood floorboards throughout. Rare north, south and east-facing windows provide excellent natural light, cross-ventilation and a wonderful sense of openness throughout. The enclosed sunroom, adjoining the kitchen and living room, offers excellent flexibility as a dining area, office nook, or light-filled retreat.
