This home has got the lot! A traditional brick home with such original charm and value for money is hard to find in this convenient Inner West pocket, and this one offers a superb opportunity not to be missed. Behind its classic Federation facade is a generous floor plan with large proportioned rooms which include high ornate ceilings, stained glass windows, feature fireplaces and lots of original period features.
I love this house and I am sure you will love it too. It has space galore and a whole lot more. It has a lovely long, inviting entrance hallway and an easy flow layout which has retained so much of its original character that provides a “feel good” factor as soon as you walk-in.
The old saying “they do not build houses like they used to” applies here because once houses like these are gone they are gone forever because they will never be built again. This unique period home is steeped in history and it will make a great family home or investment so should definitely be on your “must see” list.
Buyers will also be highly impressed by its sought-after location within 8km to the CBD and literally a stone’s throw away from Sydenham train station which is 2 stops to Central and the new Sydney Metro Line taking you from Bankstown to Chatswood. Sydenham, Wolli Creek, Marrickville and Newtown shops, cafes, eateries, entertainment as well as parks, schools, amenities and all the best the Inner West can offer is within easy reach.
