Tucked into one of Newtown's most treasured and tightly held streets, this much-loved character residence on iconic Rome Street offers a rare chance to step into a home that feels like it's been waiting for you. From here, you can wander to St Ursula's or St Mary's, duck into the CBD within minutes, or enjoy the ease of Clifford Gardens close by.
The moment you enter, the warmth of polished hoop pine timber floors and soaring VJ walls wrap around you, setting the tone for a home rich in history and soul. Sunlight floods the north-facing sitting room at the front, creating an inviting space to enjoy morning coffee or the quiet of late afternoon, while the adjoining air-conditioned loungeroom, centered around a cozy combustion fireplace, is made for family stories and winter nights.
A broad central hallway complete with a built-in bookcase ready for your favorite novels, guides you to the heart of the home. The kitchen and dining area offer an easy flow for everyday living, with a breakfast bar and room to create the meals and memories that make a house truly yours.
All three bedrooms are impressively large with ceiling fans, offering space to breathe and unwind. The beautifully updated bathroom blends modern comfort with character charm, featuring a classic claw-foot tub, shower, vanity and toilet. A second toilet near the internal laundry adds thoughtful convenience.
Step out from the kitchen to a sheltered outdoor area where you can entertain, relax, or simply enjoy the quiet of your own backyard. Set on an expansive 890m2 allotment across two lots, the property also includes a powered 9m x 6m shed with two roller doors and a lined workshop/study/gym, and a 5,000L rainwater tank.
Homes with this much personality, space and heart in one of Newtown's most coveted locations are seldom offered. If you've been waiting for a character home that feels truly special, this is one you need to experience for yourself.
