Lease this 5-bedroom 2.5-bathroom Victorian mansion in one of Sydney’s most sought-after streets, and soak up the best that Glebe has to offer.
Located on Toxteth Road in the ultra-exclusive Glebe Toxteth Estate, the house has been meticulously renovated with modern features while maintaining all of its pre-1900s grandeur.
Principal of the leasing agency, Ray White Balmain, Emily Sim said the owners have spared no expense in the property’s renovation, including the use of the renowned ‘Christopher Jordan Architects’ along with specialist colour consultants to ensure the property is as impressive as its location.
“The current owners inherited it from her grandparents. When they moved in it was a wreck and they lived there for two years with their two children and literally gutted it,” Sim said.
“The end result is truly amazing.”
“Towering ceilings, huge rooms and original period features in mint condition.”
“The family bathroom is the size of a bedroom and the main ensuite is the size of a normal bathroom. It’s just grand in every way,” Sim said, adding that the state-of-the-art kitchen is equally impressive with brand new European appliances including two smeg ovens along with caesarstone benches.
Other impressive features include three original open fireplaces, two of which are functional and running on gas and a new front verandah finished with sandstone and overlooking a newly landscaped garden.
“It also has lot of modern technology you wouldn’t normally find in a property of this age. Ducted vented reverse cycle air conditioning, automatic roller blinds at the rear and a remote control rear gate so you can drive your car in off the street.”
Also out the back is a large pergola and outdoor entertaining area incorporated into a cleverl designed backyard.
Asked who this property would suit and Sim said a large family with children would benefit most from the property’s many spaces.
“Perhaps a family who have an Au Pair living with them as there is a fifth bedroom at the back of the house which has its own separate entry and toilet.”
Sim added that Toxteth Estate’s proximity to the best of Glebe and the CBD is partly what makes it so popular.
“It’s very close to Saint Scholastica’s College and within a stone’s throw of Toxteth Village shops, the city bus, Sydney Uni, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the fish markets. You could also easily walk to the CBD, it’s about 3km,” she said.
“It is the oldest, grandest, most spectacular part of Glebe. The land is the largest, the homes are the oldest and it is one of the most sought after residential pockets in Sydney.”
