PROPERTY ID: 97297 (quote when calling)
A bright spacious 3-bedroom, 3-level, 2-bathroom Victorian terrace in a picturesque, tranquil, ideally central enclave of Paddington, an easy walk to 3 major public transport corridors.
The property fronts to beautiful Selwyn Street: a wide one-way street with large garden beds, majestic sprawling fig trees and ample, Resident Parking Scheme on-street parking, all tucked away in a quiet little residential oasis close to Oxford St (behind the Palace Verona cinema and adjacent to the UNSW Art & Design campus.)
Starting from the bottom floor up, the property has an impressively spacious, open-plan Basement Level. There is a large Bathroom & concealed Laundry and a modern galley-style Kitchen & Dining area, which opens out directly to a deep courtyard, teeming with tropical greenery in established gardens. This feature, together with the property’s privileged, direct First Floor aspect into the glorious fig tree canopy over Selwyn, make it an enviably private, peaceful refuge, albeit only a few steps away from ‘all the action.’ Indeed, one smitten ex-resident aptly dubbed it ‘The Paddington Jungle Home’ ideally located, though it is, just 100m or so from such renowned watering holes as The Unicorn Hotel, the Arts Bar, The Beauchamp and The Local Taphouse, with the incomparable Organic Bread Bar just around the corner, and the freshly minted Morris Café right next door!
Next floor up (at footpath level) is the Entrance/ ‘Ground Floor’ Level, which boasts the light-filled, ingeniously conceived ‘Third Bedroom’ (installed in 2011) and a glorious, open-plan living room- both blessed with generous 2.6mH ceilings- and then a large East-facing rear timber deck, where you can have breakfast in the morning sun, or just relax and chill in the afternoon N/E breeze.
Finally, the top or ‘First Floor’ Level comprises two large bedrooms: the Front Bedroom, which enjoys private access to the original front balcony (with its sublime leafy outlook and afternoon sunlight dappled through the fig canopy) and the larger, carpeted Rear Bedroom, which fills with bright morning sun (with the Roman blinds up) and is quite suitable for a couple and their furniture. Interposed between these two bedrooms is an ideally convenient and compact bathroom, with an excellent high-pressure shower and extensive vertical glass-shelving for storage.
The property has matt-polished Kauri pine timber floors in both Front bedrooms (Ground+First Flrs), whilst the Rear Bedroom is carpeted. There are large built-in wardrobes with full-length mirrors in ALL 3 BEDROOMS. Two of the bedrooms come furnished with a Queen size bed in each, and there is copious storage throughout, in all 3 bedrooms and the common areas. The property comes fully equipped with a Chef electric cooktop, grill+oven, large Fisher+Paykel 403L fridge-freezer, Blanco S/S dishwasher, Simpson 5kg S/S washing machine and Rinnai gas convection heater (with air purifier) all included. Internally, the house is painted mostly brilliant white throughout.
The property is an easy walk to 3 major public transport corridors, the CBD, St.Vincent’s Hospital, UNSW A&D (formerly COFA), National Art School, Palace Verona cinema, Chauvel Cinema, Moore Parks E+W, Kippax Lake, Fox Studios Entertainment Quarter, Centennial Park, the SCG, Allianz Stadium and multiple bookshops, cafes, pubs, nightclubs, clothing boutiques & restaurants.
The ideal candidates I envisage for this property would be a cohesive, stable, responsibly adult, environmentally enlightened, readymade share household, comprising a 3 or 4 person family, a trio of good friends, two acquainted couples, a couple plus two single friends, or similar.
