18 John Street, Woollahra
PICTURESQUE TIMBER "TERRACE" - CIRCA 1885. 6 METRE FRONTAGE. NORTH GARDEN
Ideally positioned on the northern side of John St, this delightful example of 19th century timber architecture has all the charm and rusticity of a fairy tale cottage. In the living area and bedrooms the floorboards have been kept in their original unpolished state, blending naturally with the smooth concrete floors in the generous farmhouse kitchen and bathroom. No pretensions to stark modernisation here, just pure gentle character, open and light, with a pretty side courtyard and lush floral north facing garden. You'll either love it in its enchanting simplicity or do a complete turnaround and convert it to more contemporary demeanour to keep pace with its prestigious location.

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.
