'Artney', A Magnificent Victorian Italianate Manor With Enchanting Private Gardens And Captivating Views
One of Randwick's landmark manor residences, 'Artney' dates to the 1890s and today stands as a fine example of Italianate style architecture on an incredibly private dual access block in an exclusive enclave between Clovelly and Charing Cross villages. A property of rare distinction, the freestanding manor strikes a perfect chord between historic grandeur and contemporary comfort with a wonderful dialogue between the old and the new. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by enchanting English-style gardens, the top floor captures panoramic views that stretch from the city skyline to Botany Bay that are distinctly Sydney and are breathtaking at sunset. A family friendly layout features formal and casual living zones with the upper levels accommodating five bedrooms including a master suite while a separate studio above the double garage is ideal as a home office, teen retreat or sixth bedroom. Soaring 3.5m ceilings, marble fireplaces and stained glass windows serve as a gracious reminder of the past while a gourmet kitchen and resort-style pool make entertaining a dream. A 350m stroll to Clovelly Road's cafe scene and 450m to Varna Park with great schools all around, this coveted pocket of Randwick is within easy reach of the sheltered waters of Clovelly Beach and the surf at Bronte Beach.
