A rare and prized opportunity available for the first time in 35 years, this elegant Italianate style terrace takes pride of place at the end of a landmark row designed by prominent architect of the day Charles Robert Summerhayes in 1896 showcasing his signature design aesthetic. Holding a coveted setting in one of Newtown's most picturesque cul-de-sacs, a leafy family friendly enclave just behind Newtown Public School, the two-storey residence is set on a deep dual access 177sqm block surrounded by leafy greenery offering a taste of country like tranquility between the buzz of King Street and the village charms of Erskineville.
