5 St James Avenue Glebe, NSW 2037

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. Surrounded by pocket parks, this enchanting cottage is footsteps to St James Catholic Primary and Glebe Montessori, 400m to Glebe Point Road's dining scene and 500m to Harold Park. With the new Sydney Fish Market 950m away, it offers exceptional connectivity to the city, Broadway's retail hub and the University of Sydney.
