Fans of character-filled period homes will appreciate this inner urban property.

Plenty of nods to Sydney’s past can be found in the Federation-era (circa 1911) home, including high decorative ceilings, coloured leadlight windows, picture rails, feature fireplaces and polished timber floorboards.

But perhaps the most eye-catching feature is the octagonal turret framing the reading/study nook.

It complements the turret in the adjoining semi-detached home.

In keeping with its period vibe, two of the three generous bedrooms offer fireplaces while the lounge boasts an ornate ceiling and another original fireplace.

Discerning homebuyers will also note that the home has had a modern makeover (2008), and delivers more than enough contemporary touches to ensure comfortable living – including an entertainer’s kitchen with all the bells and whistles, under-floor ducted heating as well as a paved rear courtyard adjoining the communal meals/kitchen area.

Double-door access from the shared area to the courtyard delivers the indoor-outdoor living and entertaining option.

A generous attic storage area is another major plus in this property. It and the rest of the roof space could also be converted into more accommodation, subject to council approval.

There’s also courtyard space for a small car which can be driven into this area via a rear laneway.

Belle Property Glebe sales manager James Cahill says the home is located in the “old Toxteth estate, Glebe’s best area”.

“It’s quite a sought-after location. It’s close to public transport, shops, cafes and restaurants,” Mr Cahill says.

“It’s also close to universities, close to Sydney’s central business district and strolling distance to Blackwattle Bay foreshore parklands.”

The agent says the property has attracted strong interest and will suit a range of buyers.

“That part of Glebe will attract either a professional couple with one or two young children or a senior couple downsizing,” Mr Cahill says.

“The older couple will find it attractive because of the no-stair access.”
