36 Wells Street, Newtown

Channeling the feel of a country farm escape from its peaceful Newtown setting, this freestanding turn-of-the-century Federation displays a living environment that has been carefully and lovingly created over three decades. A light filled, extremely functional floorplan delivers premium comfort and transitions easily between inside to its sensational garden and alfresco areas that make outdoor living effortless.

Architectural elements add to its charm evident in the stunning skylights that stream the home with plentiful natural light and the creation of a versatile rear studio or retreat which has been formed from materials recycled from across the inner-west. Easy living is achieved with a spacious lounge room, separate dining and modern gas kitchen with Miele appliances. The two bedrooms are both bright, uplifting spaces fitted with built-in robes.

Outside is a covered deck, garden terraces, edible garden and composting areas and an external toilet. The rear lane access garage has been transformed into a unique and flexible retreat boasting polished concrete floors, weatherboard and iron cladding and barn doors. These beautiful outdoor spaces provide areas for enjoyment at all times of the year and day.

From its idyllic setting, the best of Newtown is on hand. The community garden (Camdenville Paddock) is in the street and is a great conduit to the community. Although parking is plentiful there is no need for a car being steps to St Peters station, bus services, Sydney Park, Marrickville Metro and the wealth of cafes and shops along King Street. It is also within walking distance to Newtown High School of the Performing Arts.
