36 Great Thorne St, Edgecliff NSW 2027, Australia

There aren’t many weatherboard cottages remaining in the east and few offer as much charm and potential as this double-fronted c1900 classic. Tucked away at the quiet cul-de-sac end of the street, the freestanding home’s sunny disposition, authentic period charm and extra-wide frontage combine to create a unique urban retreat in a blue-ribbon pocket between Woollahra village and Rushcutters Bay Park and just 200m to Edgecliff station for a quick trip into the city. With its picket-fenced garden and 12.5m frontage creating a lasting first impression, there’s plenty of potential here with scope to for an upper level addition (STCA). Newly refurbished and ready to move in while exploring the possibilities, the three-bedroom home is perfect for the urbanite who desires a sense of sanctuary while being reassuringly close to the city’s best eat streets, harbour villages and boutique beaches. Just 500m to Trumper Park Tennis Centre, this rare gem is an easy walk across the park to The Lord Dudley Hotel and Flat White Cafe and up to Queen Street village.
