Across the road, Erskineville Oval keeps its stretch of green, the crossing of dog walkers and prams through the week, something more organised on weekends. Sydney Park and Alexandria Park sit within easy reach too, along with the cafes and corner stores that have turned this stretch of Alexandria into a destination of its own. Four train stations lie within walking distance, a run of bus routes closer still, the city nearer than the quiet of the street lets on.
The terrace sits opposite the oval, with off-street parking at the front and a full run of garden behind it rather than the usual sliver.
Inside, the living area rises to 3.2-metre ceilings, Art Deco tracings in the cornices marking the decade the house first belonged to. Brushbox and the original hardwood floors run through the ground level, timber left to show its grain rather than polished into gloss; brickwork stands exposed where the builders chose to leave it bare. European tilt-turn windows and double glazing wrap every room, closing the street out, traffic and footsteps fade to something closer to memory than sound. Solar panels line the roof, a solar hot water system fitted alongside, practicality that doesn't announce itself.
Upstairs, three bedrooms hold their own light. The main opens onto its own balcony, morning air before the day properly starts, with an ensuite and a built-in robe close at hand.
Downstairs, the living spaces give way to an entertainer's deck, then further still to a private garden with a secure car space tucked at its edge, room enough for a table on a Saturday, room enough to keep the car out of sight of the street.
It is a house arranged around the rhythm of an ordinary week, a walk to the oval before breakfast, a train close enough not to think about, a garden that asks for nothing more than an evening spent in it.
