161 Probert Street, Newtown, NSW 2042

With serious kerb appeal thanks to its gorgeous gable-fronted facade, this Victorian cottage has made an illuminating move into a brighter, more relaxed way of living that's perfectly in tune with its setting in a leafy neighbourhood between the pulse of King Street and Enmore Road's celebrated dining and music scene. Part of a landmark row tucked away behind Newtown Town Hall, the 1880s semi retains its heritage charm but has undergone an architecturally designed transformation that highlights light, functionality and an honest expression of materials. Northerly sunshine, lush garden outlooks and an easy indoor/outdoor flow create a sanctuary like feel while tastefully appointed interiors bring a fresh vision of urban style that exudes quality and timelessness. In the catchment for Australia Street Public School and Newtown High School of the Performing Arts, the two-storey home offers superb walkability in a great neighbourhood with cafes and pocket parks all around.
