10 Waruda Street, Kirribilli NSW 2061

For sale for the first time in almost 40 years, this grand freestanding home holds a rich history from its postcard setting less than 50 metres from the water's edge.

Built in c1906 long before the neighbouring buildings, Verona's commanding street presence is 22 metres wide on harbourside Waruda Street. Once known as Waruda Private Hotel, Verona's current custodians sympathetically reinstated this remarkable property into one impressive long- term family home. Lovingly and meticulously maintained with enormous respect for its nostalgic beauty, Verona now awaits a new family to create their own memories.

Rare in the ability to enjoy both main harbour views and northern sun, the interiors benefit from natural light streaming inward via the perfectly orientated cottage style gardens. Traditional wraparound verandahs face the harbour with views to the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Delight in the unique intimacy of the outlook. Wake up to the lapping waters of Sydney Harbour and witness a parade of ferries and cruise ships arriving into Circular Quay.

Immaculately presented, a variety of formal and informal living and dining spaces occupy the ground floor. Linked by both a central staircase and a near new internal lift, clever positioning of the lift allows for easy access to the five upstairs bedrooms. Crowned by a dual aspect multipurpose room, views are welcomed on one side and northern sun on the other.

With double garaging footsteps from the modernised kitchen, this exciting offering is unlike any other. One of only very few grand freestanding homes in Kirribilli, capitalise on this rare opportunity so close to world famous Sydney Harbour. Travel into the city centre by nearby ferry or train transport options, Kirribilli Wharf is just 450 metres from this enviable address. Convenient to the charms of village life, Kirribilli cafes are 650 metres away and there is easy access to leading private schools in Kirribilli and North Sydney.
