Welcome to 132 Cumberland Street, one of the most historic homes in The Rocks, a much-loved Sydney precinct and an important part of the city's early history. Set within the Long's Lane enclave of The Rocks, a quiet cobblestoned neighbourhood of just 17 residences, this characterful terrace house is mere metres to the steps of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Blending heritage beauty with contemporary design, this charming c1891 Victorian Italianate terrace has been carefully restored throughout. Original period details include cast iron fireplaces with timber mantles and patinated stone hearths, polished hardwood floors, tessellated tiles, original front entry door, internal doors and windows, as well as the restored brick fireplace surround in the kitchen.
Step across the tessellated tile front porch into a remarkably quiet lounge room featuring a Jetmaster fireplace, flowing through to a separate dining room centred around a second restored cast iron fireplace. Adjacent is a renovated kitchen with stainless steel benchtops and gas cooking, while the original fireplace cavity has been cleverly converted into additional storage.
An original polished timber staircase leads to two upper-level double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks. The front bedroom captures afternoon sunlight and leafy views of the London Plane trees, while the second bedroom features a built-in wardrobe and overlooks the historic rooftops of Long's Lane.
A beautifully renovated bathroom with premium fittings and tiling is complemented by a separate toilet room and a modern internal laundry with ample storage and stainless steel sink. To the rear, a large private courtyard framed by mature trees provides a peaceful space for entertaining beneath the fairy lights with views towards the city skyline.
Positioned moments from the CBD, this unique residence presents a rare opportunity to enjoy modern living within one of Sydney's most historic and tightly held enclaves.
