This 6.8-metre-wide sandstone terrace stands proud in a row of Darlinghurst’s finest historic homes on Palmer Street.

The home was originally built in 1860 as a manse to home a minister of the nearby church, but has been thoughtfully renovated to retain its heritage while providing the comforts of modern living.

The original sandstone of the home has largely been conserved and provides warmth and texture to not only the facade, but as a feature wall in the home’s kitchen. Otherwise, the interiors are classic and calming with dark wood floorboards and white walls providing the ideal canvas for the lucky new owners.

The home is listed for sale with Shannan Whitney and Michael Kirk at BresicWhitney Darlinghurst with a buyer’s guide of $3.2 million to $3.5 million.

Sprawling Neringah has been renovated into a southern slopes treasure. The colonial Georgian-style house sits on 890 hectares of highly regarded farmland used by the current owners for sheep and cattle breeding.

The estate’s highlights have to be its tree-lined driveway, manicured topiary gardens, verandahs and a sun-drenched courtyard that beautifully frame the two-storey homestead. Inside, the home is vibrant with natural light with a practical, country feel.

The home heads to auction on June 12 with Chris Malone and Bruce Birch from Ray White Rural & Livestock NSW.

The home’s rooftop has views of the bay and is ripe for catching the fireworks over the Melbourne CBD during New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Stephen Smith from Marshall White Bayside is fielding inquiries and hosting private inspections of the home, which has a guide of $7.5 million to $8.2 million.
