"Dilwinnia" circa 1936 - First time ever offered for sale - the quintessential blank canvas

BUYERS NOTE: AUCTION NOW ON THE 21ST OF MAY AT 6:00PM.

The creation of prominent Australian artist Dora Toovey, and inspired by her European sabbatical in the late 1920s, "Dilwinnia" draws upon classic Art Deco and Mediterranean influences to create a completely timeless aesthetic and a genuinely unique blank canvas.

Untold potential awaits buyers either wanting to keep this magnificent block of 4 large apartments (selling in one line) intact or for those wanting to capitalise upon the R3 zoning to create a world-class single residence and/or boutique luxury apartments.

The current configuration boasts intimate views to the heads from the two top floor apartments and access to deep level gardens from the two apartments on the ground floor. All four residences boast two bedroom layout with 80sqm internal floor prints. Showcasing juliet balconies, charming art-deco features and high ceilings, this extraordinary opportunity for restoration is not to be missed.

"Dilwinnia" is blessed with the perfect location, offering intimate views to the east through the Heads and an easy 350m walk to revered Chinamans Beach, 250m to Spit Road and 1.2km to Mosman Village with buses to the CDB.

Sitting proudly on a level 701sqm approx parcel of land with a wide 15m approx. street frontage, the opportunities are endless for a multitude of purposes. With a deep setback from the street there is ample parking in addition to the current garage in place.

Truly a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
