Villa Palmyra, A Landmark Victorian Italianate Residence In The Heart Of Waverley Village
Villa Palmyra stands proud as a rare surviving example of an early Victorian mansion on a prime triple accessed 387sqm between the neighbourhood hubs of Charing Cross village and Macpherson Street's cafe strip. Built in 1888 in the Italianate style, the freestanding home showcases the grand proportions and refined craftsmanship of its architectural pedigree with soaring 3.9m ceilings, four Italian marble fireplaces, ornate plasterwork and an original cedar staircase serving as an elegant reminder of the past. Capturing views to the ocean from the master bedroom, the four-bedroom home opens to a tranquil walled garden with a self-contained studio or freestanding garden office and features rare triple parking with access via Leichhardt Lane for 4th on-site parking. Perfectly comfortable as is, this local landmark is ready for a new style chapter with scope to transform into a luxurious contemporary residence in a fantastic spot surrounded by top schools just 600m to Queens Park and minutes to Bronte Beach.
