88 Hordern Street

Newtown NSW 2042

The soulful renovation of this 1880s terrace pays homage to the past while marking a new style chapter for a Victorian classic. Part of a community minded neighbourhood, the single-storey home is set at the end of the street with Camperdown Memorial Park and child-friendly Goddard Reserve just around the corner. Rebuilt from the ground, a complete revival of the materials and colour palette has created a feeling of openness while managing to stay true to the traditional cottage interior with restored Kauri floorboards and vintage details adding warmth and personality. The clever use of skylights brings plenty of light into the heart of the home while splashes of sage green and warm neutrals echo the natural beauty of the leafy backyard. Stroll up to King Street's dining scene, off-beat boutiques and cinemas or walk across the park to Australia St Infants School and The Courthouse Hotel beer garden and enjoy a walk-everywhere lifestyle on the city fringe.

- Restored facade, corbelled arch hallway, high ceilings
