Overview

Historic elevated landmark, once-in-a-century opportunity

Welcome to Willella, a beguiling Federation sanctuary, on the market for the first time in its 120 year-plus history. Cherished by generations of the same family, ever since it was built as the marital home of William Layton, and his wife Eleanor (melded into Willella), the prominent corner residence is a treasure-trove of period features, nestled behind rambling cottage gardens and a sweet Federation facade. Step into its welcoming embrace and discover a grand lounge and dining room, connected via stunning leadlight doors, adorned with original fireplaces and timber fretwork. The incredibly well preserved features continue through the two oversized bedrooms, with a verandah and large leadlight windows capturing breathtaking district views to Botany Bay. A corner position enables access to a garage and workshop at the rear of the block, and showcases the home's ornate splendour. Move straight in and utilise its tidy kitchen and bathroom, or add your own stamp and reveal the original timber floorboards beneath the carpet. Just 550 metres from Banksia Station and village shopping strip, this magnificent piece of local history awaits its new chapter, minutes from Bayside beaches, 6km from King St Newtown, and within 12km of the CBD. Highlights - Freestanding, double-brick Federation home - Prominent rear-to-north corner block with sunny courtyard, garage and workshop - Quiet, elevated position offers district views to Botany Bay - Large leadlight windows, original fireplaces, high ceilings with cornices, picture rails and timber fretwork - Two oversized bedrooms include built-ins; main with considerable space purposed as a study - Well-maintained kitchen and bathroom - Grand living room adjoins dining and kitchen via decorative glass doors - Short stroll to trains, shops, cafes and historic Gardiner Park - 12km to CBD; minutes to beach, inner-west hotspots and airport
