'Wahroonga' - A landmark family estate upon a near 1,300sqm landholding

Possibly one of Glebe's most significant properties, 'Wahroonga' c1880 is a beautiful Victorian manor of grace, style and refined history. The majestic home is part of the exclusive Toxteth Estate upon an expansive nearly 1,300 sqm corner landholding and is a shining example of how quality modern enhancements can be added to immaculate heritage foundations. The property is totally unique and consists of a grand family residence, self-contained guest quarters and two separate apartments, as well as parking for up to 10 vehicles.

A classic Victorian facade is a beautiful introduction to the home, and once you step inside, you'll see how the interiors have been immaculately restored and superbly renovated by the current owners. There are soaring decorative ceilings, lots of original details; handcrafted leadlight windows, tessellated tiles, and timber flooring. As well as grand formal lounge and dining areas, there is a super-sized home office and an elegant ballroom complete with an ornate Art Nouveau coved ceiling. A contemporary island kitchen fitted with the finest Miele appliances. Self-contained guest quarters. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms occupy the upper level, plus there is a traditional front verandah with views to the city.

Out the back is a large alfresco deck that overlooks the tranquil garden haven that sits serenely in leafy surrounds, with plenty of room for a pool (STCA). There are also two separate apartments, two lock-up garages and secure off-street parking for eight cars.

Faultlessly presented to ensure a timeless quality, this remarkable home is simply without parallel and provides a quiet sanctuary; yet is within strolling distance to the magnificent waterfront parklands around Blackwattle Bay, vibrant cafes, and shops and only 3km from the heart of Sydney's CBD.
