Meticulously renovated in a classic style to emphasise the vast, light-filled interiors, this magnificent 6-metre wide residence offers expansive accommodation over four comfortable levels.

Luxurious double formal rooms with ornate period detailing including soaring ceilings, original fireplaces and bi-fold doors for privacy.Vast gourmet granite kitchen with stainless-steel gas appliances and ample storage. Casual living area opens to sun-drenched parterre courtgarden with retractable awnings, built-in bbq facilities and separate entrance.

Magnificent master bedroom opening through double French doors to full-width balcony. Multiple bedroom accommodation over three upper levels, several opening on to private balconies and one with kitchenette for self-contained staff quarters. Two large marble bathrooms on the middle two levels, one with direct access to large separate linen & storage room. Laundry and drying room, guest cloak room, extensively wired, security

This home is grand yet cosy. My favourite feature HAS to be the kitchen/family room opening out to the courtyard. I'm completely smitten! This is also a very similar colour scheme I'm planning to create for my own new family room. The only downside to this house is Woolloomooloo is not one of my favourite suburbs in Sydney. Too fast paced.

What's the price tag you say? I predict a cool $3, 000, 000 ;)
