Built in 1887 in the style of a distinguished Knightsbridge mansion, 'Ocean View' stands tall and proud as one of the finest residences on a wide tree-lined street in an exclusive pocket of North Newtown. Elevated for privacy with leafy district views from the upper level, the wide-fronted Italianate style villa has been sympathetically updated allowing the fine period craftsmanship to shine while delivering a perfect environment for contemporary living. Introduced by an elegant hallway, the entry level is devoted to living and entertaining with grand formal rooms leading through to a contemporary kitchen and casual living room with a wraparound courtyard garden with an elegant Parisian feel. Capturing views over the heritage rooftops from the upper level, this is a home of enduring style and substance in a culturally rich city fringe location just a few hundred metres in one direction to King Street's culinary scene and Carriageworks in the other. With cafes, bars and restaurants all around, this leafy pocket on the edge of the University of Sydney campus is a 900m walk to RPA Hospital and 600m to Macdonaldtown station. It also comes with DA Approved plans by acclaimed architect Andrew Burges for a stunning addition including luxury master suite, study and rooftop terrace and garden.
