About this property

Unique Home of Luxury and Legacy

Built in 1900 by Colonel McDonald, this historic home faces a park dedicated in his memory after he lost his life in World War II.

In 2021, the home was fully renovated, carefully preserving its historical character while introducing the comforts of modern living. The result is a seamless blend of timeless charm and contemporary luxury, all within a central location that makes it easy to explore and enjoy the area.

This residence is more than just a house—it is a story of history, love, and renewal, offering a rare opportunity to live where the past and present meet in perfect harmony.

Leah, thank you for your review. However, your review was not entirely fair, as VRBO was unable to provide you with a full refund due to the last-minute cancellation. My property has consistently received 5-star reviews from all guests on Airbnb in 4 years, and I always do my best to provide a positive experience for my guests.

A wonderful home away from home stay. This stunning Victorian house was immaculate with lovely touches everywhere. Well located, easy parking, roomy and comfortable. All communication included clear and easy to follow instructions and timely responses. I would highly recommend this as a home base for exploring Sydney and the surrounding areas.
