Paddington 56 Caledonia Street

A magical wonderland in tranquil surrounds

This rare and beautiful sandstone property is on the market for the first time in 36 years. Carefully renovated and restored by Architects Dods and Zuccon it sits surrounded by trees with a quiet laneway on one side in one of the quietest streets of Paddington.

One of a few properties on two blocks of land with an 11m frontage, it has three bedrooms, master with marble ensuite and walk-in dressing room. Bespoke floor-to-ceiling storage and cabinetry, carefully crafted cathedral ceilings, gas fire and underfloor heating in bathrooms and office/guest bedroom. The entry level has a television room, walk-down wine cellar, and a guest bathroom with hidden laundry.

Beautiful sandstone stairs with Italian wrought iron handrail take you down to the main entertaining area with the kitchen, dining, sitting area and a charming library niche. Royal Oak floors throughout the house and a beautiful sandstone mantelpiece originally from the Old Pymont Bridge. The living area opens out to a north-facing courtyard with a saltwater swimming pool and sandstone office with a mezzanine dressing room and bathroom that can be easily converted into a teenage retreat or extra guest bedroom.

The property has a garage with internal access to the house but also offers a studio apartment and undercover parking for an extra cost.

A peaceful sanctuary in a whisper-quiet setting that's just a short walk to Woollahra's village shops and Oxford Street.
