Florence Villa, an iconic harbour estate

Holding a significant place in Sydney's maritime history, Florence Villa was built in 1875 by Ambrose Thornley Jnr and today stands as a gracious reminder of the past in the rapidly transforming Blackwattle Bay precinct. The Picturesque Gothic meets Italianate style estate is set on a north facing 612sqm waterfront reserve landholding overlooking the harbour. The gated compound features a manor-like residence and The Stables, a converted stable house with separate entrances, designed to function as self-contained dwellings, design studio, professional suites or guest cottages.
