Echoing the eclectic charm and artistic spirit of its urban village surrounds, this two-storey terrace is tucked away in a leafy cul-de-sac between the buzz of King Street and the village atmosphere of Erskineville. Part of a landmark row designed in 1896 by acclaimed architect of the day Charles Robert Summerhayes, the three-bedroom home has been tastefully renovated retaining its authentic period character while delivering modern comfort and an upbeat energy. A perfect north-to-rear aspect floods the interiors with sunshine with a private courtyard creating an idyllic setting for alfresco entertaining and wide open district views from the upper level enhancing the sense of sanctuary. On the sunny side of a quiet street renowned for its sense of community and lack of through-traffic, the wide-fronted terrace enjoys the best of both worlds, leafy serenity and unbeatable connectivity. Just 300m to the station, it's a short walk to Newtown Public and Newtown High School of the Performing Arts, with artisan cafes, galleries, pubs and cinemas all around. This is a home that embodies Newtown's creative energy while offering a private retreat in one of Sydney's most walkable lifestyle hubs.
