What's around 5 St James Avenue

Glebe's best-kept parkside secret

In a historic row of charming c1900 cottages, this newly refreshed terrace brings a distinctly village-like feel to connected inner-city living. Opposite the St James Park tennis courts and backing onto John Street Reserve, the tightly held mews-like enclave is reminiscent of an English village green. A deep front garden creates a welcoming sense of arrival, while newly revived Kauri floorboards and original period details preserve the home's character. Stylish contemporary updates bring a fresh dimension, with separate living and entertaining zones and a brand-new kitchen opening to a tree-framed courtyard and the park beyond. Two double bedrooms are complemented by a versatile artist's space or winter sunroom, creating a peaceful retreat with a leafy outlook.
