7 Trelawney Street
Woollahra

Privately secluded on a sprawling 1,055sqm parcel of level land in Woollahra’s exclusive consular belt, this iconic residence is a magnificent example of the Spanish Revival architectural style. Built in C1920's, the home is rich in detail, from the curvilinear gables and stuccoed walls to the arched courtyard features and decorative windows. Inside, soaring ceilings, French doors and timber panelled walls hark back to a bygone era, while expansive gardens, both front and rear, bestow a sense of privacy. There’s a wing dedicated to au pair accommodation while the third-floor attic level makes a wonderful retreat, complete with a kitchenette and rooftop terrace capturing views to the harbour. The bones are beautiful, providing wonderful foundations for a lover of classic architecture to take on a passion project and sympathetically revive the residence to its former glory. Perhaps extend the rear, add a pool and create a superb family home that does justice to this landmark’s proud heritage (STCA).
