Overview

Character, Scale and Absolute Individuality

Some homes are easily compared. This isn't one of them. Forming part of a beautifully preserved 1926 former public school, this remarkable house-like residence combines history, scale, character and privacy in a way extraordinarily difficult to recreate today. Behind its distinctive façade is a wonderfully liveable home, with expansive interiors flowing to substantial, park-like gardens. Quietly positioned yet remarkably connected, it offers something increasingly scarce in Sydney: genuine space, individuality and a home unlike almost anything else on the market. Then there is the life you could create here. To the front there's an expansive garden area, long enjoyed with the residence, with room to genuinely play cricket or any footy code. Watch the kids scoot around the paved rear garden or privately entertain 50 there; this is a home where children can play, explore and grow up outdoors, and everyday moments become family memories. Not simply somewhere to live, but a home your children may one day talk about growing up in. • Unique residence within landmark 1926 former school • Extraordinary proportions, solid brick and 4m ceilings • Expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area • Timber floors complement rich architectural character • Large double garage, sunny N/W aspect, one attached wall • Direct access to substantial gardens more akin to houses • Remarkable privacy despite its highly connected location • 200m to Anzac buses, 500m to Heffron Park, walk to coffee • 2km walk to Malabar Beach, 2.5km to Maroubra Beach • A genuinely rare home, impossible to replicate or forget
