Privately secluded from the street on a clifftop on one of Paddington’s highest points, this impressive Victorian terrace and its neighbouring cottage present a wonderful opportunity to secure a gracious piece of the East’s history. On separate titles, the grandly proportioned homes are being marketed for sale in one line, offering buyers a unique chance to make their mark on two timelessly elegant residences.

Set on a 185 sq m block with an almost six metre frontage and rear access from Norfolk Lane, the c1890 terrace is freestanding to one side. It’s blessed with exceptionally generous proportions and is one of the area’s more impressive examples of homes of its type. It encompasses four bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms, regal formal rooms with twin marble fireplaces, generous casual entertaining space and a private courtyard garden.

Positioned on a 275 sq m block – particularly generous for the area – with an almost 10 metre frontage and rear access from Norfolk Lane, the adjoining residence is a semi-detached single-storey terrace of the same era. It accommodates two bedrooms, two bathrooms, gracious traditional lounge and dining rooms with fireplaces and a family room with access to a rear yard. A large additional attic area is ripe for conversion (STCA).

While liveable, both residences are essentially in need of refurbishment. They provide a wonderful blank canvas for transformation into sophisticated homes befitting their stature and position. They’re graced with a host of original details begging loving restoration. Timber floors, soaring ceilings, wrought-iron lacework and fireplaces add plenty of charm and character. The terrace features a dramatic turret which was found in many of the grander homes of the era.

Perched high on a sandstone clifftop and hidden from the street below, the imposing homes are accessed via a private walkway. They enjoy sweeping easterly and north-easterly views across Paddington’s historic buildings down to the lush expanse of Trumper Park. They are located within just a few minutes walk of the host of cosmopolitan attractions for which Paddington is renowned, including fabulous galleries and Five Ways and Oxford Street shopping and dining. It’s a 500m walk down through Trumper Park to Edgecliff Station and Eastgate Shopping Centre.

60 and 62 Cascade Street will be of particular appeal to developers, investors or those with a love for period architecture with a keen desire to renovate. Initially offered for sale in one line, they will then be offered for sale individually if not sold.
