171 Denison Street, Newtown

Fresh minimalist design with clean lines and an impressive modern rear extension have transformed this traditional period terrace into a spacious contemporary home with an easy indoor-outdoor flow between its large open-plan living space and sunny timber-decked courtyard.

Private and filled with light, the house has an attractive facade and a wonderful feeling of space and tranquility. Off the entry hall are three double bedrooms and a white-tiled bathroom with skylights, deep bath, separate shower and concealed Euro-style laundry with a washtub and storage.

Superbly designed for comfortable living with underfloor heating, the huge open-plan modern extension provides a well-appointed gas kitchen and generous sitting and dining areas with bifold doors opening to the large courtyard with a sunny north-west aspect and rear access to a pedestrian lane.

With a wide island bench and stainless steel benchtops, the kitchen has a Smeg 6-burner gas range, Bosch dishwasher and plenty of storage. Built-in cabinetry in the dining zone provides more storage.

Other features include polished hardwood floors, high ceilings, gas heating bayonet, ceiling fans, wiring for sound speakers and cable television, and a large attic storage area accessed by a pull-down ladder in the hallway.

Perfectly positioned in a quiet precinct close to RPA Hospital and Sydney University, the property is a short walk from Newtown train station, Camperdown Memorial Rest Park & playground, Australia Street Infants School, Newtown Public and Newtown North Public Schools, Newtown High School of the Performing Arts and King Street shops, cafes & restaurants.
