Since its creation in 1912, this landmark residence has only had three owners. Rich in history and with a prized lifestyle address, this home is in the Islington area’s heart. Buzzing cafes are just around the corner, tree lined streets provide an inner-city charm, while ‘Vicinage’ will always be your urban oasis with the utmost privacy.
Beyond the classic double brick façade, the home’s stylish interiors have been kept intact and restored for that feel of opulence and timelessness. Set on a double block, with an expansive living space overlooking the exotic garden oasis, this is certainly a home that offers a classic lifestyle on the city fringe that is rarely seen these days.
