Landmark residence in a prime location

A prominent landmark in the heart of Asquith, ‘St Heliers’ circa 1925 rests on a remarkable 1,391m2 level parcel, presenting a rare chance to secure one of the few remaining full brick historic residences of local significance. Screened from the street by heritage gardens, its interiors pay homage to a period of grace, grandeur and refined elegance. Meticulously restored and lovingly held by only four families in its 100-year history. Old-world charm meets modern functionality, delivering a single-level floor plan tailored for today’s indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Adorned with original timber fretwork, intricate leadlight windows rest under ornate high ceilings, while a separate teen retreat or home office adds to its versatility. The family room basks in natural light and extends to a deck and sparkling in-ground pool. From this convenient locale it’s an easy walk to Asquith train station and quality schools and only a short drive to Westfield Hornsby.
