    What's special

    39 George Street offers a rare opportunity to own one of Sydney’s last remaining Victorian century homes, thoughtfully converted into a four-unit income property while preserving much of its historic character and charm. Located in the north end of the city on the corner of George Street and Pleasant Street, directly across from Victoria Park, this property enjoys a quiet setting within easy walking distance of the downtown core, waterfront, shops, restaurants, and amenities. The main level unit is accessed through the front entrance and features two bedrooms, a bright open living room, an eat-in kitchen, a spacious rear mudroom with storage, and a private deck area ideal for seating or barbecuing. Upstairs from the front entry are two additional units. The first is a one-bedroom apartment with an open, bright living and kitchen area and a four-piece bathroom. Across the hall, the third unit offers a similar layout with an eat-in kitchen, bright living room, bedroom, and bath, along with a small balcony off the kitchen providing a lovely place to sit and take in views toward the harbour. These two units share a convenient laundry area near the entrance. A wraparound porch leads to the fourth unit, located on the top floor. This one-bedroom apartment has an inviting open design, a nice kitchen, hallway storage, and a beautiful exposed brick chimney separating the kitchen and living room. The Victorian-style turret creates a charming nook filled with natural light, perfect for a sitting area or plants. The basement is accessed from outside beneath the back deck and is very dry, with a solid rock foundation that speaks to the home’s quality construction. The property also features separate electrical panels for each unit and a shared oil hot water tank. Full of character and income potential, this landmark property has stood the test of time and offers a truly unique investment opportunity in the heart of Sydney.
