This charming historic home has been recently 'refreshed' so it is now perfectly in tune with its fashionable urban village setting.

Set in a tightly held row dating to the 1850s, the picturesque gable-fronted terrace presents a rare opportunity to buy one of Paddington’s iconic 'gingerbread house' cottages.

On a wide tree-lined street close to the cosmopolitan village of Oxford Street and Five Ways, the home is also only 3km from the CBD. 

The property has a modern stone-topped kitchen which opens to a private courtyard. The home has rear lane access to secure parking, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, and gas heating. 

The property maintains many of its original features including an elegant corbelled arch hallway, ornate vaulted ceilings, and original leadlight windows.

Additional features:

• 3 bedrooms (2 double bedrooms plus a third bed or ideal study)
• 1 bathroom 
• Secure carpark

This property is for sale by auction, Thursday 8 June at 5.30pm.
