'Moorland' A Piece of Horseracing History, 1920s Double-Fronted Californian Bungalow
"Moorland," a double-fronted Californian bungalow from the 1920s. Once the residence and stables of renowned horse trainer Stan Lamond, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Sydney's horseracing legacy. Set on approximately 690sqm, the property boasts a spacious two-storey main residence alongside a versatile stable conversion, which includes a self-contained guest apartment and a dedicated home office. Surrounded by lush, established gardens, the impeccably maintained home features elegant proportions, high ornate ceilings, and stunning leadlight windows that evoke a sense of timeless charm. The family-friendly layout includes an upper-level rumpus and a casual living room that overlooks the tranquil gardens. Nestled in an exclusive cul-de-sac, opposite a child-friendly reserve, this prime location is just 5km from the CBD, offering easy access to East Village shopping, the Australian Golf Club, and transport links to the city and beaches.
