Last Listing description (August 2026)

This semi-detached Victorian residence carries the hallmarks of its era with genuine grace: ornate ceiling roses, timber floorboards, original fireplace, and an arched dining alcove that lends the interior a warmth no renovation can manufacture. Library shelving lines the sitting room floor to ceiling, creating one of those rare domestic spaces that feels both considered and completely liveable. The open living and dining area flows naturally to a private, sunlit courtyard garden framed by mature trees - a leafy retreat that earns its place as a second living zone across every season. The northeast-facing kitchen is spacious and practical with a pleasant private outlook, while two generous bedrooms are well-served by a maintained bathroom and separate internal laundry. A large attic provides serious storage or future potential, and rear lane access adds a layer of convenience rarely found at this price point. With great scope to renovate, redesign or extend STCA, the bones are exceptional and the opportunity is clear. Steps to Camperdown Park, Sydney Uni, RPA and the full length of King Street.
