Little Napier is undoubtedly the cutest street in Sydney. Tucked away in a unique mews-like enclave in Paddington's arts and cultural hub, this picturesque row of Victorian terrace homes is fringed by banana palms, Spotted Gum trees and potted plants giving it a lovely neighbourhood feel. A pedestrian-only street flanked by Oxford Street's theatres and the UNSW Arts & Design, there's absolutely no traffic noise offering a peaceful retreat from its vibrant city surrounds. This charming 1880s terrace is set in a tightly held row that was developed in the 1980s in keeping with its architectural heritage while offering all the benefits of a modern rebuild. An urban oasis perfect for the artist or urbanite, this quiet pocket is footsteps to the buzz of city living with everything from art house cinemas and bookstores to cafes and gastropubs around the corner.
