137A Victoria Street

In a row of Victorian Gothic-style terraces with city skyline and Harbour Bridge Views, this iconic residence was originally a subdivision of the Orwell Estate. Constructed in 1886 by owner-architect Thomas Rowe (who also designed Sydney Hospital), the heritage significance of the strata plan's buildings was preserved by the famous Green Bans of the 1970s, instigated by Jack Mundy and Juanita Nielsen. Now a renovated apartment in the area’s highly regarded leafy avenue, it offers both rich history and modern lifestyle, on the edge of a bustling restaurant, cafe and arts scene. Highlights
