Built circa 1840 as one of the peninsula's earliest residences, this freestanding double-fronted Victorian home offers timeless character and contemporary comfort on approximately 248sqm. Set in one of Birchgrove's most peaceful pockets-just 400 metres from Birchgrove Oval-it combines historic elegance with relaxed modern living. Behind the classic façade, generous proportions and beautifully preserved period details create a home of enduring warmth and sophistication. The two-storey layout features a rare 15-metre frontage, multiple living areas, and a sun-filled country-style kitchen that opens directly to an entertainer's deck and leafy courtyard. Perfectly oriented to the north, the private garden is bathed in natural light, providing an idyllic retreat for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, the main bedroom includes a large walk-in wardrobe with extensive built-in joinery, accompanied by two additional bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom. A separate study or nursery offers flexibility for family life or working from home, while a fourth bedroom downstairs provides an ideal space for guests or extended family. Completing this exceptional offering is a standalone lock-up garage with a storage loft-a prized asset on the peninsula. Positioned between the harbour foreshore and Birchgrove village, this classic home enjoys a coveted lifestyle location, just footsteps from locals' favourite Charlotte Café and within easy reach of the heritage-listed Dawn Fraser Baths.
