Utterly enchanting and decidedly unique, this freestanding Victorian home is one of a few remaining original late 19th century villas in this connected pocket of Enmore. Set behind an idyllic 10m deep native garden creating the ambiance of a country retreat, the double-fronted home is secreted away in the lush and leafy privacy of a rare 436sqm landholding. Built c1887 on the grounds of the former Camden College, the four-bedroom home opens out to a north facing garden that's bathed in sunshine and a haven for visiting birdlife. A spacious single-storey layout offers superb flexibility with a separate wing that can function independently or as part of the main home. Lovingly held for 34 years and retaining its authentic charm, the home has been well maintained and designed to tread lightly on the environment with a 4.6kW solar power system and 7,000L rainwater tanks. Properties of this calibre are incredibly rare and this historic treasure presents a unique opportunity to recreate or transform into a grand family residence while conserving the building's inherent romance and charm (STCA).
