Overview

1890s home of rare distinction & architectural quality

Auction Location: On site Few homes carry a story quite like this. Occupying a generous single-level floorplan within the storied 1890s mansion 'St Helens', designed by and once home to Walter Liberty Vernon, NSW's Government Architect, this residence has been meticulously reimagined by Hampton Architects into something truly exceptional. A testament to the calibre of the work, the home has been nominated in the Master Builders NSW 2026 Excellence in Housing & Pool Awards. A formal foyer sets the tone, opening to a grand living space where light and volume command attention. Thoughtfully planned, the bedroom wings occupy either end of the home, the master suite a private retreat unto itself, the two additional bedrooms each served by their own bath or ensuite. Manicured gardens, a stone-paved patio and lawn create a rare sense of seclusion, while gated on-title parking adds practicality and value. Positioned closely to the Sydney Harbour foreshore, it's waterside living at its most enviable, with The Cremorne Point Walk at your doorstep. Stroll to both Kurraba Point and Hay Street ferries, each with their own cluster of café lifestyle offerings, while buses, Anderson Park, Hayes Street Beach and Military Road are all nearby.
