'Saraville' - A superb lifestyle retreat for grand-scale living
Rarely does an opportunity arise that presents a home of such extraordinary space, traditional grandeur and stunning contemporary design. Immaculately presented and beautifully renovated throughout, 'Saraville' c1890 will leave you breathless with its sheer elegance, vast size and privileged position on what is widely regarded as the best street in Potts Point.
This freestanding Italianate home is one of a landmark row of beautiful character residences and forms an integral part of the historic Challis Avenue streetscape. Inside there are soaring 4.2m decorative ceilings, original details and ornate fireplaces. The layout includes a double traditional formal lounge flowing through to a beautifully modern yet complementary kitchen (with Wolf appliances) and dining area.
Concertina doors then open to a private courtyard oasis that sits in established leafy surrounds with a feature vertical garden wall. Other outdoor areas include two upper-level courtyards flowing from the master and second bedroom, front courtyard and a large traditional lacework balcony capturing elevated views to the city. An outstanding feature of this property is a secure three-car garage that has access from Rockwall Lane at the rear.

From here you can stroll to a range of local attractions including Potts Point Bookshop, Grandiflora and restaurants such as The Apollo, Cho Cho San, Fei Jai and Fratelli Paradiso amongst many others.
