With frontages to 3 streets, there are no neighbouring buildings to over-shadow the house. Also, 2 generous skylights allow sunlight to pour into the kitchen & bathroom, Plus, every morning in the east-facing kitchen you will wake up to a cosy kitchen overflowing with sunbeams.
Although it's just 100 metres behind King St. and Missenden Road., It's an unexpectedly quiet oasis as all the main buildings in both streets soak up the traffic noise. The only sounds drifting across from the lush community garden will be idle chatter as locals tend their vegie patches.

You'll step inside to peace & quiet. From the high-ceilinged front bedroom, you look directly to the community garden through the leaves on the front yard tree. It takes a double bed easily.

These are timeless quality finishes There's an instant heat gas cooktop & oven, and generous space for family gatherings around the kitchen table.

You could call them "the log books for the house", there is nothing to hide. Again the new skylights allow brilliant sunlight to add natural warmth & sparkle to the new addition. Generous windows permit the natural circulation of fresh air.

Upstairs are the 2 full-sized bedrooms, both large enough for a double bed. Each has built-in wardrobes, the front bedroom overlooks the community garden, whilst the rear bedroom enjoys a full-width window with a panoramic view far across Sydney. You'll be surprised just how far you can see.

Outside is the secure backyard, with a side gate opening to the rear lane. Like the rest of the house, the yard is washed with sunlight., with space for a BBQ, table & chairs. There's a fold-up clothesline to let the sun do the drying for you.
