Character-Filled Residence
Charming Victorian Italianate terrace with meticulously-preserved period features
Welcome to 132 Cumberland Street, one of the most historic homes in The Rocks, a much-loved Sydney precinct and an important part of the city’s early history. Set within the Long’s Lane enclave of The Rocks, a quiet cobblestoned neighbourhood of just 17 residences, this characterful terrace house is mere metres to the steps of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
This charming residence blends heritage beauty with contemporary design. Built in 1891 in the Victorian Italianate style, original period details have been carefully restored throughout, including cast iron fireplaces with timber mantles and patinated stone hearths, polished hardwood floors, tessellated tiles, original front entry door, internal doors and windows, and brick fireplace surround in the kitchen.
Step across the tessellated tile front porch into a remarkably quiet lounge room with Jetmaster fireplace, leading to a separate dining room featuring a second restored cast iron fireplace. Adjacent to the dining area is a renovated kitchen with stainless steel bench tops and gas stovetop. The brick fireplace surround that would have been the original place for cooking meals has been cleverly converted as storage space.
An original polished timber staircase leads to two double bedrooms both with pleasant outlooks, the front bedroom capturing the afternoon sun and a leafy view of London Plane trees. The second bedroom features a built-in wardrobe and overlooks the historic rooftops of Long’s Lane.
A beautifully-renovated bathroom and separate toilet room both have premium fittings and tiling. Opposite, an internal modern laundry has ample storage and stainless steel sink.
To the rear is a large private courtyard, framed by mature trees, with views of Long’s Lane terraces and the city skyline. Enjoy entertaining outdoors under the fairy lights before heading to a local restaurant or wine bar.
Moments to the CBD.
One parking permit is available.
A unique opportunity to reside in a prime Sydney location, stroll to the steps of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Dawes Point and Millers Point with beautiful heritage streetscapes, and of course The Rocks with its cafes, restaurants, and cosy wine & whisky bars.
Every day here is Sydney at its best. Start your morning with a walk to Millers Point and under the spectacular Harbour Bridge down to Hickson Road Reserve, then around to Walsh Bay. Stop for a coffee before continuing on to Barangaroo Reserve, taking in views of Balmain across the sparkling water.
Just a few minutes’ walk will see you at Circular Quay train station and the ferry terminal, connecting you to key Sydney locations, including Manly, Taronga Zoo and Luna Park, Darling Harbour, Watsons Bay, Parramatta, Balmain, and UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cockatoo Island.
Come evening, Sydney’s glittering harbour and famous attractions are on your doorstep. Stroll to the Opera House, and world-class dining along the harbourfront.
