A vintage beauty untouched for decades, this grand old dame stands on one of the largest landholdings on Annandale's signature street and comes with DA approved plans for an extraordinary residence that pays homage to its Victorian pedigree and European sensibilities but reinvented for the Australian way of life. Conceived in collaboration between multi-award winning architectural and landscaping firms MCK Architects and Dangar Barin Smith, this c1890 classic breathes new light and vitality into the time-honoured home. The masterful reinvention takes full advantage of its sunny level 666sqm block with a double-storey pavilion style extension with walls of glass on the north side opening out to the gardens with a 10m pool as centrepiece. At the top village end of the street, this historic home holds a prized city fringe address just around the corner from Booth Street village and 550m to Annandale Public School with easy access to the city and harbour action.
