57 Victoria Street

A Grand Victorian Dame Ready For Revival

Grand in scale and rich in history, this landmark Victorian villa is one of Waverley’s most significant original homes, a gracious reminder of a bygone era. Lovingly held by one family for 38 years, the double-fronted residence is set on a sunny 445sqm dual-access corner block overlooking Wiley Street’s avenue of Moreton Bay figs. Presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revive a classic of rare presence and potential, the six-bedroom home’s soaring 3.5m ceilings and elegant proportions speak to the home’s Victorian pedigree with a wide corbelled arch hallway creating a welcoming sense of arrival. Capturing ocean views from the upper level, a flexible, family friendly layout features a separate garden wing, a choice of living spaces and sunny level private backyard. A Victorian beauty waiting to be reborn, this is a rare chance to reimagine a landmark family home on one of the largest blocks in the street with rare triple parking including a lock-up garage (via Prospect St). Perfectly positioned between Queens Park and Bronte Beach, it’s 300m to Bronte Road cafés and Charing Cross village with excellent schools all around.
