Last Listing description (November 2022)

There's so much to love about this character cottage in a tucked-away spot right in the heart of Newtown but it's the potential to further develop taking advantage of its sunny aspect and generous 160sqm approx block that will really capture your imagination. With lapsed DA approval to do just that, the two-bedroom home comes with plans by Jason Blake Architecture for new three-storey residence with a secondary ground-floor dwelling and a private entry designed to integrate with the heritage character of the streetscape. With King Street's dining and pub culture footsteps from the door, the neat and tidy cottage is ideal to live in or rent out during the DA process and offers superb convenience with the station at one end of the street and Lillian Fowler Reserve at the other. It's a great spot for families with direct access to Newtown Public School and Newtown High School of the Performing Arts and comes with invaluable potential for off street parking and a world of opportunity.
