55 Surrey Street, Darlinghurst
A Rare Historic Beauty With Double Parking Ready To Become An Architectural Masterpiece
On the high side of Darlinghurst's best street, this grand tri-level terrace stands proud as a rare authentic example of Victorian Italianate architecture ready for creative revival. Built in 1890 and reminiscent of a distinguished Knightsbridge residence, the 5.2m fronted terrace forms part of a tightly held row in a fashionable inner-city enclave just off Victoria Street's celebrated dining hub and a 600m walk down to the harbour splendour at Rushcutters Bay Park. Held by one family for over thirty years, this is a unique opportunity to secure a piece of history and create your dream home with rear lane access to double parking a massive bonus so close to the city. Soaring ceilings, original fireplaces and king-sized bedrooms promise the perfect foundations for renovation with leafy district views from the upper level and a skylit attic with potential to develop (STCA).
