A timeless beauty with one of Birchgrove's most commanding vantage points, this manor-like Victorian residence stands proud on a rare double block with dual perspectives out over Cockatoo Island to the north and over the iconic city skyline from the upper levels. Tastefully renovated interiors weave a dialogue between the classic and contemporary with a gracious nod to the past while creating a perfect environment for family living and entertaining on both a grand and intimate scale.
