Overview

Blank Canvas, Big Potential: Grand Victorian Terrace Between Two Parks

Behind its heritage-listed Victorian façade lies a rare opportunity to create a bespoke family home in one of Redfern's most tightly held tree-lined streets. Vacant, legally freestanding and stripped back to a blank canvas, this exceptional terrace is ready for its next chapter. Set on approximately 163sqm (approx.) with a prized east-to-rear aspect and rear lane access via Elizabeth Lane, it offers outstanding scope to build a substantial architect-designed residence of approximately 225sqm (approx.) (STCA). Nestled beneath majestic jacaranda trees on sought-after Great Buckingham Street, the property enjoys a unique position between Redfern Park and Prince Alfred Park, placing green space, sporting facilities, playgrounds, cafés and everyday conveniences all within easy walking distance. A previous architect-designed DA showcased the potential for a sustainable 7-star smart home with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, multiple living areas, private outdoor spaces and low-running-cost environmental features. With no internal load-bearing walls, there is endless flexibility to reimagine the design and create a home that reflects your own vision and lifestyle. Rear lane access provides secure off-street parking behind an automated garage door, while potential future scope may exist for a studio above the garage (STCA), offering additional flexibility for work-from-home, dual living or rental income. Perfectly positioned moments from Redfern's celebrated café culture, restaurants, wine bars, boutique shopping and transport links, you'll enjoy effortless access to the CBD, airport, universities, leading schools, beaches and greater Sydney via train, Metro, Light Rail, bus and cycleways.
