About this listing
What We Love
Where most homes follow straight lines and predictable angles, this Glebe residence abandons convention entirely. Curves replace corners, voids open between floors, and light moves through spaces like a choreographed performance. This is architecture as sculpture, where spiral stairs wind through double height volumes and arched windows frame the city skyline with gallery precision. You're not just living in Glebe's cultural heart, you're inhabiting a work of art.
Living & Entertaining
Double height ceilings create volume that shifts throughout the day as light moves across internal spaces. The main living zone connects to a covered outdoor terrace, extending usable area beyond the building envelope. Garden spaces occupy multiple levels, providing both immediate outdoor access and elevated vantage points over the city skyline. The architectural approach prioritises light penetration through large arched windows that respond to the home's curved plan.
Sleep
Move through the striking spiral staircase and the bedrooms unfold across the second level. Two bedrooms occupy the right side, one fitted with a queen bed and the other with two singles that work for family or friends sharing space. A smaller bedroom on the left holds a single bed, compact but filled with the same natural light that defines the rest of the home. The master bedroom claims the far end, where a European king bed faces floor to ceiling windows that frame uninterrupted city views. The ensuite bathroom provides private access, continuing the home's refined aesthetic.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen operates within the home's open plan arrangement, maintaining visual connection to living areas. Integrated appliances sit within streamlined cabinetry that follows the building's curved language. Dining happens against a backdrop of city views, with the covered terrace providing an alternate eating space when weather permits.
Bathrooms & Facilities
Two bathrooms feature bespoke fixtures and finishes. Combined washer and dryer handles laundry requirements without separate utility spaces. Air conditioning and ceiling fans maintain comfort across seasons, with the home's elevated position capturing natural breezes.

The Neighbourhood
- Glebe Living Glebe occupies a peninsula position between Sydney Harbour and Blackwattle Bay, placing the neighbourhood within walking distance of the harbour foreshore while maintaining separation from central Sydney's intensity. The area developed around the University of Sydney's historic presence, creating a mix of architectural styles from Victorian terraces to contemporary insertions.
- Dining & Coffee Madame Frou Frou serves morning coffee and breakfast in a setting that matches the neighbourhood's relaxed sophistication. Oh my Days Vegan Patisserie handles pastries and baked goods for those seeking plant based options without compromising on flavour or craft. Lunch and dinner move between Tom Yum Tum Gang for casual Thai that locals return to regularly, Kottoo By Dish for Sri Lankan flavours that bring spice and complexity to the table, and Kyo Yakiniku when gatherings call for shared feasting over Japanese barbecue. Bellevue Cottage by Antoine provides refined dining for special occasions, operating from a heritage listed building where French technique meets local produce.
- Markets & Culture Glebe Markets fill Saturday mornings with vintage finds, food stalls, drinks and live music that turn the primary school grounds into a weekly gathering point for the neighbourhood. Sydney Fish Market delivers the day's freshest catch within walking distance, operating early morning auctions that supply restaurants across the city while Victoria Park offers green space for running or relaxation between the University of Sydney's grounds and inner west streets.
- Day Trips Bondi and Coogee sit thirty minutes east, with the coastal walk connecting beaches and headlands through six kilometres of cliff top paths and ocean pools. The eastern beaches draw surfers, swimmers and sun seekers year round, with cafes and restaurants that operate from morning until late evening. Manly requires a harbour ferry crossing, placing northern beaches within easy reach while the ferry journey itself becomes part of the experience, passing the Opera House and Harbour Bridge en route.
