A PADDINGTON PIECE OF HISTORY IN THE BEST POSSIBLE LOCATION
Built in 1917, this almost 100-year-old building was once the site of a fire station complete with horses and water-laden carts.
Three generations of auto mechanics later took the reins, and today this piece of history at 1a Ormond Street is up for sale, with exciting potential to develop the site to match the adjoining three and four-storey Paddington home (STCA).
Approx 6m wide x 12.8m deep footprint, this site offers a five-star location, situated a heartbeat away from Oxford Street and Five Ways. It's walking distance to the city and a bus-hop away from Bondi Beach, with good public schools and trendy eateries all a stone's throw away.
With potential only limited by your imagination, this is an unusual and inspiring opportunity to buy and build it all your own way!
