This superbly located character filled large home is literally in the heart of sophistication & action. With 3 very large D bedrooms, polished floors & lush c/yard views, you will have plenty of room for a large group/family gathering to unwind, relax & explore spectacular Sydney.
The kitchen & family room is spacious & very comfortably appointed. Literally a stones throw away from an abundance of dining, entertaining & shopping in this ever popular location of trendy Neutral Bay.
The space
Perfect work from home location. High speed WIFI Free
The location of this large home is situated so central to the beaches, Sydney central business district (CBD), Neutral Bay Bus interchange 3 min walk away ( 5 minutes to the city by Bus) , shopping and wonderful Lower North Shore & exclusive Mosman (argueably the most exclusive suburb in Sydney). This home is literally a short walk to everything in Neutral Bay.
The house is quite large, well appointed and has everything you would need for short stay or long term stays.
This row of houses are historial and built over 100 years ago to service the Tram workers at the time when Sydney had existing Trams. This home has not been updated in last 25 years so do not expect a well maintained modern home. There are many imperfections and there will not be any works done to the property, except emergency electrical.
If you would like a unique travel experience and live in a larger home as they lived in early Sydney (with modern resturants & shopping a short walk away ofcourse), well this is an experience just for you!
This home is suited to young people sharing with friends, although families would equally appreciate its size and location.
This home may not be a 2 or a 3 star property to all guests, and its certainly not a 4 or 5 star property for all guests either. Do not expect a five star property for the budget price this large home offers. Note the star rating is not Sydney hotel star rating, so all references to star rating is the short term platform. Please see our other listings for properties which are 5 star if this is an important criteria for your stay.
If you are coming to Sydney to work or for a holiday to experience Sydney, you would not be spending huge amount of time at home regardless. This home will be exceptional in the numerous features it has on offer. Not many houses in Sydney can cater to parking for 3 cars!
Sydney's property prices are extremely high, (even in Global market), so its natural MOST Sydney people will not be able to purchase such a large house as this opportunity presents & offer it on this platform. This is a key reason why not many old large houses like this exist in Neutral Bay for short term stays.
You will not find the location, facilities or features of such a large house listed cheaper anywhere else in Neutral Bay. If you do, we would love to know about it becasue we have deliberately kept our rates low and reasonable for the budget conscious or large group booking.
As a wonderful older home with rich early Tram history in Sydney, this home has very high ceilings, floor boards throughout, large rooms and lots of character, including some visible cracks in walls/ceilings/door, old fire places & decorative lace iron rails. This is not a modern renovated property and minor updates were done over 25 years ago. The very reasonable rates of this home reflects the old character and old features this home offers for the short term renter.
This house is beautifully set up & we often receive comments such as "love how you set it up beautifully " is a common response. However, the styling is not to everyones taste and nor do we cater for everyones taste in furnishings and items displayed.
Children's needs are carefully thought out and always met when you make your booking with us. Lots of kids items are found in the house including all bedding, high chair, bath, huge toy chest, books & many other essentials and fun things to keep children entertained. There are plenty of parks nearby where owners take their dogs for regular walks and even a golf course is walking distance away.
