70 Watkin Street Newtown, NSW 2042

A property of rare distinction, this 1880s Victorian terrace house is set in a tightly held pocket of North Newtown and makes a handsome addition to the streetscape with its 6m frontage and classically elegant facade. The first time on the market in 26 years, all the Victorian grandeur is here with soaring 3.5m ceilings, marble fireplaces and cedar joinery serving as testament to its craftsmanship while offering the perfect attributes for creative revival over two substantial levels. A prime 258sqm block on a wide tree-lined avenue features invaluable off street parking and a deep north-east facing garden cocooned in leafy greenery while spacious layout features four bedrooms, a study and large attic. On a quiet one-way street around the corner from Hollis Park, it's 350m up to the landmark Newtown Hotel and King Street's world of art, fashion and entertainment and 200m to Macdonaldtown station.
