Walkom Real Estate marketed 30 The Terrace for $4 million and sold it for an undisclosed sum.
Agent Graeme Brownlow has now listed No.26 with a guide of $4.3 million.
The property hit the market this week and has already been inspected by prospective local and Sydney buyers.
The two-storey Victorian Italianate residence was built in 1869 and retains the grandeur of its era.
“It’s a bit special,” Mr Brownlow said. “It’s the size and grandeur and it has spectacular views.
“There is also has a generous, north-facing backyard which is private and everyone who has come through has said the photos don’t do it justice.
“The owners bought it in 2004 and have updated it and brought it back to its former glory.”
There are five bedrooms, three bathrooms, pressed metal ceilings, arch windows, a modern gas kitchen and views across King Edward Park and the ocean.
Inspections on Saturday are by appointment.

Versatile in Blacksmiths
A tri-level home with two self-contained ground floor flats and its own elevator presents a unique opportunity, according to Viking Realty’s Louise Vico.
Ms Vico is marketing 103 Ungala Road at Blacksmiths. The home is positioned opposite reserve and has ocean views.
“The owners have created a home where family can come to stay and remain separate,” Ms Vico said.
“Blacksmiths is a very popular area once summer hits and people are desperate for accommodation. It’s been lucrative to rent out the flats downstairs. Both have kitchenettes, a bathroom, bedroom, living area and are fully self-contained.”
In all the residence has six bedrooms and five bathrooms.
It is being marketed with a guide of $2.2 million to $2.4 million and is open for inspection at 2.45pm on Saturday.
