Why this property will seduce you

  • Prime Location: Steps to waterfront, parklands, and Potts Point heart.
  • Restored Historic Architecture: Grand Victorian terrace, circa 1890s, beautifully preserved.
  • Unique Heritage Link: Former home of explorer Lawrence Hargrave.
Here lies an exceptional opportunity to acquire a unique slice of history with one of Rushcutters Bay's most significant properties. 'Arlie', a grand four-storey Victorian-era residence, dates back to the 1890s and has been beautifully preserved, sympathetically upgraded and thoughtfully designed to create a tranquil urban oasis. Featuring immaculately retained period charm and sophisticated modern additions, the gracious home is utterly private and enjoys a highly accessible setting within a stroll to the harbour's edge, waterfront parklands and the heart of Potts Point. This warm and inviting haven makes an iconic family estate with traditional elegance, impressive proportions and private alfresco entertainment spaces to deliver a wonderful living environment. Originally, the dwelling was owned and occupied by renowned Australian inventor and explorer Lawrence Hargrave from 1899 to 1902. It now displays a stunning custom design and modern renovation to keep pace with a modern lifestyle and includes a range of highlights and added extras. The interiors are well laid out with formal reception rooms, a ground floor living space plus versatile lower-level workspaces and accommodation. There are five bedrooms, home office, rumpus, three bathrooms, a powder room, plus a quality contemporary kitchen and beautiful high ceilings throughout. For entertainers, a choice of outdoor spaces includes a front courtyard with built-in BBQ kitchen, rear garden with woodfired pizza oven, plus a traditional front porch and lacework verandah. The property comes complete with two parking spaces and exclusive access to a swimming pool across the road. Rarely does a prospect arise that presents a lifestyle of such character, space and absolute privacy, with so many options for multi-generational families, extended households or those looking for that exquisite space to upgrade their lifestyle. And from here, you can easily walk to local cafés, village shops, Macleay Street dining and Kings Cross station.
