Original double-fronted cottages are increasingly hard to find in this prized Glebe pocket, making this c1890 classic an exciting opportunity for transformation. Available for the first time in decades, the character-filled home rests on a sunny, level 216sqm parcel with original period detail. Comfortable to live in or rent out while plans take shape, the cottage offers exceptional scope to renovate, reconfigure and extend at the rear, taking full advantage of the block's north-to-rear aspect and generous proportions (STCA). Whether restoring its historic charm or introducing a bold contemporary addition, the potential here is limited only by imagination. Just down from Glebe Town Hall and the Nag's Head, the two-bedroom home is surrounded by the neighbourhood's celebrated cafes, eateries and village energy. Just 300m to The University of Sydney's main campus, this is an outstanding opportunity for renovators, developers or visionaries looking to make their mark in a tightly held city-fringe setting.
Adding further appeal, the site benefits from an FSR of 1.5:1 and 12m height limit, offering scope to investigate a more substantial built outcome under existing planning controls (STCA). Whether restoring the cottage, creating a contemporary addition or exploring future redevelopment, the possibilities are compelling.
