Filled with character and enduring appeal, this delightful workers cottage stands slightly elevated above the street on a deep block featuring a north rear aspect and sunny backyard with attractive sandstone paving and off-street car space accessed from Whateley Lane.

Set at the end of a row of pretty traditional terraces, the home is situated in an ultra convenient position just a few minutes walk to King Street shops, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, buses, train station, and with close proximity to the University of Sydney, RPA Hospital, Hollis Park and Eveleigh Farmers Market.

Offering terrific street appeal due to its landscaped front garden and classic facade with tessellated tiled verandah, the house has an easy flowing single-level layout, as well as a large versatile attic space with a Velux window capturing sweeping district views.

The front door opens to a light-filled living room (with high ceiling and polished timber floorboards) that leads into a hallway and past the double bedroom (with built-in storage) to a separate dining room with a decorative brick fireplace and door opening to a side courtyard leading to the laundry and back garden.

Beyond the dining room are the kitchen (with stainless steel gas stove and Bosch dishwasher) and the bathroom with a shower above the bath and granite floor tiles as well as a distinctive wall frieze created from pebbles collected from the coast.
