Overview

Makeover magic, newly updated cottage ready to enjoy

Completely refreshed from top to bottom, this endearing terrace has been given a new lease of life boasting beautifully revived interiors, sun-drenched rear terraces and an easy-care garden. The end result is a bright and invigorating home with spacious living areas, a brand new eat-in kitchen and two light filled bedrooms primed for end of day slumber. Sitting prettily amongst the traditional streetscape, the interiors are generous and open plan headlined by contemporary timber flooring. A central small side courtyard works well to channel natural light into the open plan living and dining. The kitchen includes a casual meals/dining area and opens out to the peaceful rear terraces. Anchored with a sweeping circular staircase, the two bedrooms are serene getaways positioned on the upper level. The enticing package rests in a quiet no-through street, exceptionally central with King Street on one side and Sydney University and the RPA on the other. Every flavour of food is a quick stroll away with Iberico Spanish and Hikaru Japanese Courtyard within easy steps. Catch the latest movie at The Dendy, relax in nearby Camperdown Memorial Rest Park and enjoy easy transport options with the bus just 50m away.
