17 Peel Street

Tucked away in a quiet street just a few minutes walk to Kirribilli village, this dual level address is brimming with character and the elegant detail of a bygone age. The formal living and dining rooms are complemented by a modern kitchen featuring marble benchtops, Smeg cooking appliances (including gas cooktop) and a Miele dishwasher. The living area includes high ceilings with ornate roses along with two truly superb marble and decorative tiled fireplaces. There are two further marble fireplaces in the main and second bedrooms upstairs. The main bedroom also features his and hers robes plus French doors to a Juliet balcony. Upstairs also includes a near-original bathroom with combined bath/shower and w/c. A second w/c is located next to the external laundry, which is attached at the rear of the home. Access to an under-house storage area is also available via the laundry. With the home partly freestanding on one side off the kitchen, a small passage leads out and up to an elevated alfresco dining terrace which is covered and features timber decking. The terrace overlooks a paved leafy courtyard and a drive-through lock-up garage with rear lane access which is an absolute bonus in this area. A stunning leadlight dormer above the front door serves as a taste of the decorative features inside. Apart from the four stunning fireplaces, the home boasts high ceilings throughout, as well as original floorboards and plantation-shuttered sash windows. A few minutes walk to village shops and cafes, the location is only approximately 150 yards from city ferries and is also handy to the Ensemble Theatre and Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, along with Milsons Point Station and North Sydney Olympic Pool. Just three km south of the CBD, and right on Sydney Harbour, Kirribilli is an historic and affluent suburb, home to young professionals and creatives as well as (sometimes) the Prime Minister, of course. The beautiful leafy streets are lined with a combination of Art Deco and modern apartments and a few heritage houses, many with glorious views. Read more about Kirribilli
