40 Bishopgate Street, Camperdown

With a beautiful facade and huge street appeal, this classic circa 1890 semi-detached residence stands on a wide-fronted, level 199 sqm block with a private north-facing side courtyard garden, as well as a sunny rear courtyard and remote-control access to secure covered parking.

Freestanding on its northern side, the well presented home has spacious rooms (with 3.1 metre high ceilings) and beautiful original features including polished Kauri floorboards.

Set behind a traditional iron palisade fence and lush front garden planted with azaleas and gardenias, it has a warm and inviting ambience and plenty of living space in a modern open-plan extension.

Off the entrance hall are two large double bedrooms: one with a beautiful dark grey marble fireplace and built-in cabinetry, the other with a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe.

At the rear is the two-storey extension with a big double bedroom on the upper level, while downstairs are a white-tiled bathroom, big laundry, well-designed gas kitchen (with plenty of storage) and an enormous living area with a glass conservatory-style dining zone.

Featuring a high raked ceiling and terracotta tiled floor, the living space has glass doors on two sides providing excellent cross flow ventilation. One side opens to a north-facing courtyard garden with an alfresco dining area & gas BBQ bayonet; the other side opens to a high-walled rear courtyard with gate access to Bishopgate Lane.

Set in a quiet, tree-lined, cul-de-sac street, this most appealing property is close to buses, trains, parks, RPA Hospital, the University of Sydney and King Street's shops, restaurants & cafes.
