9A Pickering Lane, Woollahra
QUAINT SANDSTOCK BRICK COTTAGE IN A PICTURESQUE LANE. 2 MINUTES WALK FROM WOOLLAHRA VILLAGE
As pretty as any picture postcard this charming sandstock cottage probably started life as a rustic workman's home and now presents as an enchanting, readily affordable pied-a-terre in a prestigious and very private location. Compact yet spacious, and very secure, it comfortably accommodates an elegant living/dining room centered around a lovely fireplace, opening via wide colonial glass doors to a delightful north facing courtyard, plus 2 good sized bedrooms, bathroom with concealed laundry and a more than generous kitchen which also opens to the garden. And if position is important, this is just a couple of minutes walk to the lively hub of Woollahra Village. Easy on street parking.

Woollahra
Cosmopolitan, refined and charming, Woollahra is 4km east of the CBD. Considered the grown up version of its neighbour Paddington, Woollahra's leafy avenues are lined with a variety of properties.
Some enclaves are dominated by ornate turn-of-the-century homes, others by elegant terraces and historic sandstone cottages, others by Art Deco apartments and some by discrete stately homes secluded by private gardens.
One of its main thoroughfares, Ocean Street, is known as Sydney's 'Consulate Belt', where consulates reside in grand traditional mansions. Woollahra retains a vibrant village atmosphere based around coffee, dining and perusal of its interesting and exclusive shops.
Woollahra village, as it's known, comprises the area around the junction of Queen and Moncur Streets, which is home to renowned eateries such as Luxe and Bistro Moncur, the gourmet attractions of Simon Johnson, and salubrious boutiques.
Charming pubs are dotted around the suburb, favourites being the quintessentially English Lord Dudley, The Woollahra Hotel, The Centennial and the young and trendy Light Brigade on Oxford Street. The lush expanse of Centennial Park borders Woollahra to the south.
