Blending the grace of yesteryear with low maintenance living on the one light filled level, this inviting period home is freestanding in a premier street close to the Lilyfield light rail and with easy access to both Leichhardt and Annandale village. From a spacious front courtyard providing walled privacy on entry and oversized rooms full of traditional details to a boutique rear garden featuring tree-filtered views towards the city – including glimpses of Anzac and Sydney Harbour Bridges - it offers a home of comfort and character ready for a new chapter. Wonderfully convenient yet quiet, the home is ideally positioned within walking distance of Catherine Street shops, cafes, the weekend markets at Orange Grove Public School and transport, while rapid access into the CBD further enhances lifestyle appeal. Potential for CDC Development or DA (STCA) to create a dream home.Walled front courtyard with leafy aspectDeck and level garden area at the rearGlimpses of the city and Harbour BridgeHigh ceilings and polished floorboardsLounge-dining features a gas fireplaceBright living area with r/c air conditionerNeat kitchen has d/washer, ILVE rangeGood sized bedrooms, elegant full bathLaundry with second WC, attic storageGated side of house access to the rear5mins walk to Whites Creek Valley Park 5mins walk to the Lilyfield light rail stop10mins walk to new Rozelle Parklands1.0km (15mins walk) Annandale villageTimeless character at 49 Starling Street
