224 Glebe Point Road, Glebe, NSW 2037

One of Glebe's finest Victorian Italianate residences, this beautifully presented c1886 villa is a shining example of immaculately retained period details and tasteful contemporary design. Presented in the classic tradition yet cleverly configured for a spacious, versatile lifestyle, it is now on the market for the first time in over 55 years.

Originally called 'Toxteth Villa', this grand freestanding home is one of the landmark row of "Doctor's Houses" and forms an integral part of the Toxteth Estate's historic streetscape. Interiors showcase impressive proportions throughout with high ornate ceilings, preserved picture rails and quality Tasmanian blackwood flooring. There are generous living and dining areas, a modern dine-in kitchen with gas fittings, six bedrooms, two studies and nine bathrooms, plus a traditional front veranda that captures a lovely outlook.

Embraced by 437sqm of beautifully established grounds, it features a landscaped front garden, a rear entertainment patio and secure parking for four cars accessed from Church Lane at the back. The home has been lovingly maintained and upgraded, and is presented in very good condition with stunning potential to reconfigure or transform to perfectly suit your lifestyle.

Very few properties can offer so much in terms of size, charm and flexibility, all enhanced by a blue-ribbon Glebe address that's about 600m to the water's edge and harbourfront parklands around Rozelle Bay. This premium neighbourhood is surrounded by prestige residences, and within footsteps to Glebe Point Road's buzzing cafes, restaurants, Saint Scholastica, the light rail/Tramsheds, and less than 3km to Sydney's CBD.
