Agent Comment
This is a dream property to convert into your own. Extremely hard to find this age and quality along with having great bones to work with, while most of the hard work is done with Council and NSW heritage. The owner has started stripping the internal plaster, with a plan to renew this before the new flooring was fitted, then a plan to fit out the kitchen and bathroom, along with loft bedroom. Sadly, the owner cannot continue his dream but offers a canvas for others to take over! Be on the next Grand designs episode, with this beautiful building.
