Enmore NSW 2042

Steeped in history and incredibly private, this enchanting double-fronted Georgian manor was built c1865 and stands as a gracious reminder of Sydney's early development on a rare double block just around the corner from Newington College. One of Enmore's largest and most significant landholdings, the sun-filled two storey villa embraces an idyllic north-facing garden with a romantic wisteria-framed entertainer's terrace at its leafy heart. Grandly scaled interiors retain their period finery with beautiful pressed metal ceilings, ornate fireplaces and Kauri floorboards while a sprawling layout features five bedrooms and sunlit living and dining spaces opening out to the gardens. The setting is magical, the aspect is perfect and the craftsmanship exceptional making this a remarkable opportunity. Enjoy a sense of country like tranquility on the city fringe, just 550m to the cultural highway of Enmore Road with its stellar line-up of cool cafes, cocktail lounges, music venues and microbreweries.
