There's something genuinely special about 26 Glasgow Street.
Architecturally designed by its original owner, Ross Brown, and completed in 1982, this is a home with real personality. Quirky, clever and wonderfully individual, its original 1980s architecture still feels remarkably fresh today - soaring ceilings, generous expanses of glass, warm timber detailing and interesting shapes creating a home quite unlike anything else on the street.
Recently refreshed with new carpet and interior paint, the house is beautifully positioned to capture sun, shelter and views across the city towards the harbour.
At the heart of the home is the impressive living and dining area, where a high vaulted ceiling and large windows create a wonderful sense of light and space. Glass doors connect the interior to the distinctive two-level sun deck - an integral part of the original design and a fabulous transition between inside and out.
The layout is equally clever. Upstairs, the principal bedroom occupies the north-east corner and enjoys exceptional sun and outlook, while being connected conveniently to the main living level. A second double bedroom is also located on this floor, giving the upper level a practical and comfortable arrangement.
On the third level, another bedroom - believed to have originally been the architect-owner's office - has a fabulous curved ceiling and its own small balcony. Whether used as a bedroom, studio, office or a quiet place to write, it is one of those spaces you won't find in an ordinary house.
The kitchen enjoys glimpses of the harbour between neighbouring homes and university buildings, while downstairs you'll find a separate laundry opening directly to the outdoor clothesline and a guest WC. Both retain some gloriously authentic 1980s detailing - embrace them as they are or add your own chapter over time.
Outside, the beautifully painted exterior is complemented by easy-care gardens and a small flat lawn. A single garage plus an additional off-street park in front completes the picture.
For families wanting something distinctive in a highly sought-after location and excellent school zones, or professionals looking for an architectural home with room for family, or even an astute investor - this is an increasingly rare opportunity.
The sale is a deceased estate and the family is motivated to sell.
