AN extremely stylish Woollahra property is scheduled to go to auction on Saturday, March 24.
Set in the heart of Woollahra village, at 152 Queen St, the immaculately maintained private residence has graced the covers of various leading design magazines.
“It’s been somewhat of a style icon,” the owner said.
“There are a few standout architectural elements of the house including the staircase.”
The property has been carefully updated over the years.
“It’s really just about restoring it back to its original glamour,” the owner said.
“The cosmetic work has included repainting, restoring the sandstone and fixing up the gardens.”
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is somewhat of a sanctuary, its corner position on one of Sydney’s most prestigious streets screened by mature gardens.
“In terms of the Woollahra community, it is a house everyone knows,” the owner said.
“Certainly, among older generations, it has been an iconic house as it was in all the magazines.”
Ray White Woollahra principal Randall Kemp said it’s not surprising the property has been so tightly held.
“It’s set right in the middle of Woollahra village and is a beautifully appointed house as is, with the option to alter,” Mr Kemp said.
“There’s also parking, which is invaluable in the area and it’s so private from the street while receiving plenty of natural light.”
The elegant house features high detailed ceilings, an arched hallway entry, a grand formal living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a marble kitchen, casual dining and lounge areas, and a private courtyard.
It’s also one of the only residences in the area not to be bound by heritage restrictions.
The on-site auction of 152 Queen St, Woollahra is scheduled for Saturday, March 24 at 1pm.
