Lifestyle - Grand Victorian elegance and immaculately preserved period features are perfectly partnered by stylish contemporary updates throughout this impressive wide-fronted terrace. Located in Petersham's best pocket, close to Norton Street, Petersham Park and pool, Fort Street High School, it offers a flexible layout over three levels with an Italian-tiled deck overlooking a private landscaped garden at the rear.

Accommodation - The original formal lounge and dining rooms are heralded by red cedar doors and both offer working gas-pointed fireplaces, high ornate ceilings and period grandeur. A French-designed granite and gas kitchen, with casual dining area, opens through cedar French doors to a wide wraparound deck of Italian tiles and vergola covering of 5 louvred sections. Upstairs, two double bedrooms, each with balconies and built-in robes, plus third bedroom and fourth bedroom/study provide flexible options, while the lower level has a slate-tiled rumpus (potential 5th bed/teen retreat), laundry with shower and toilet, wine cellar, generous workshop and ample storage.

Features - Pristine original ceilings with ornate cornices and patterned panelling are a highlight of this quality Victorian as are the original six inch wide Baltic pine floorboards, sandstock brickwork and a beautifully restored laced iron faade. A six metre wide frontage plus side carriageway allows generous proportions and masses of natural light throughout. There is also a claw-footed bath, 6 panel solar hot water system, tessellated tiled entrance and sliding gate on western side of fence.
