This iconic corner freehold, located in the beating heart of the Inner West, was once the go-to haunt for generations of Sydney Uni and UTS students, especially popular with creatives and alternative thinkers throughout the '90s and early 2000s.
After more than two decades in the same family, the mixed-use property will be offered for sale with vacant possession, representing an incredible opportunity for both owner occupiers and value-add investors.
“Properties like this, with such a strong legacy and cultural footprint, rarely come up,” said Kristian Morris, principal of RWC Sydney City Fringe.
“This corner has been part of the social fabric of Glebe for decades - from coffee catch ups to community conversation. We’re proud to be bringing it to market and expect strong competition from hospitality operators, creatives, and investors alike.”
Comprising a dual-level building on a 225sqm* corner site, the property boasts 314sqm* of floor area with a fully fitted café space, charming courtyard, storage, and a mix of residential offerings upstairs.
The flexible layout includes a self-contained one-bedroom apartment, a studio, and three rooms with shared facilities - offering immediate potential for income generation or reconfiguration.
“The beauty of this property is not just its heritage and high-exposure location, but also its versatility,” said Kamal Silwal, sales and leasing executive.
“It could suit a flagship café, boutique accommodation, or a creative commercial HQ. With the building offered vacant, the possibilities are endless.”
According to the agents, the decision to take the property to auction was driven by its broad appeal. “This is the kind of asset that ticks boxes for multiple buyer profiles. An auction allows all of those groups - whether hospitality, residential investors, or repositioning specialists - to compete on a level playing field,” said Mr Morris.
The auction will form part of RWC’s June Auction Showcase and will go under the hammer on Thursday 26 June.
