5 Collins Lane Surry Hills, NSW 2010

Laneway living is gaining massive momentum as the way forward for inner city living as the original terraces and cottages that line Sydney's historic back streets are perfect for professionals and urbanites. One of only a handful of homes in a boutique laneway behind Crown Street's buzzing dining and social scene, this freestanding terrace offers a peaceful and private retreat from the fast pace of its vibrant urban surrounds. With a wide frontage and dual level layout, the freestanding terrace makes an appealing low-maintenance alternative to an apartment with no strata levies. A quiet retreat with the pulse of downtown Sydney at your fingertips, it's just 450m to the light rail and 350m to Bourke Street Bakery with a stellar line up of cafes, cocktail lounges and independent boutiques around the corner and Shannon Reserve at the end of the lane. Grounded in nature yet decidedly urban, this is the ultimate in walkability, 650m to Wunderlich Lane's celebrated new eat street and 400m to Moore Park West.
