Owned by the same family for a century, four generations have made it their home. Few historic houses in the area have such character and continuous familial connections. <br/>Century-long Family Legacy: <br/>Nannette Johnstone purchased the property in June 1923 and lived there with her daughter Dorothy. When Dorothy married, she moved away for some years, but the house remained in family hands and Dorothy returned in 1961 to make "Elwyn" her home again. <br/>Neva and Ross Buddle, Dorothy's daughter and son-in-law, took joint ownership with Dorothy during the 1960s. They lived at the property and raised their three children there. <br/>Unique Connection: "Elwyn" stands as a living testament to the enduring bonds of family and evolving history of Darlinghurst.
