Overview

'Glenrock' - c1883 Victorian Italianate villa with garden apartment

Standing tall on a prized dual-access corner, 'Glenrock' is a striking c1883 Victorian Italianate residence, set just moments from Norton Street's vibrant village heart. The freestanding villa captures the elegance of its era with soaring ceilings, grand proportions and beautifully preserved detailing, tastefully renovated with a sensitive approach to its heritage. With a stately entry hall and sequence of generous formal spaces, french doors extend living areas to balconies and a covered terrace, encouraging relaxed indoor/outdoor entertaining above the sunlit courtyard. Adding exceptional flexibility, a fully self-contained garden apartment with its own private entry provides an ideal teen retreat, guest accommodation, granny flat or income stream. Full of sunshine and framed by historic streetscapes, the home balances prestige with everyday lifestyle appeal, with parking via Queen Street, Norton Street Plaza just 400 metres away, the station a short walk, and Petersham Park's celebrated cricket oval and pool nearby.
