90 Lord Street, Newtown

A unique home brimming with character, this rustic semi offers low maintenance living on the one level in a tightly held Newtown pocket. Exposed brick interiors featuring rich timberwork, raked ceilings and an original fireplace create a distinct sense of rustic charm, yet the home certainly caters to a busy lifestyle and provides scope to add some creative modern touches for enhanced comfort and value.

There are separate lounge and dining areas each with skylight, along with a neat kitchen including dishwasher and freestanding stove, plus a fully tiled bathroom with bath. The bedroom is a good size, has built-in wardrobes and is positioned at the front of the house to capitalise on a warm northerly aspect.

Other features include r/c air-conditioning and original floorboards, while to the rear of the property is an intimate paved courtyard complete with a laundry cabin which has room for storage or a small workshop.

For buyers looking to purchase their first home, this makes a great alternative to apartment living, or an ideal investment, close to everything Newtown has to offer. You've got Sydney Park, King Street and Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre all within walking distance, Sydney Uni is only a short bus or bike ride away, and there's easy transport close by including trains from St Peters station.
