Beyond the hand-hewn sandstone walls of this early 1900s residence lies one of Drummoyne's most captivating estates, fronting Montague Park on an elevated corner block with tranquil outlooks towards Iron Cove Bay. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully renovated, 'Adelaide' honours its heritage with rich period detail while opening to enchanting established gardens with a sequence of alfresco spaces to relax, entertain or unwind through the seasons. Designed to evolve with family life, the sprawling property incorporates a self-contained secondary dwelling, 'Alice', ideal as a home office, guest cottage or income opportunity, complete with a private entry.
