2 Raper Street, Newtown

This beautifully presented freestanding home stands on a 225 sqm block with a spacious alfresco dining/BBQ deck and a big sunny garden with a veggie patch.

With tremendous street appeal due to its pretty facade featuring dormer windows and a traditional bullnose front verandah, the circa 1890 renovated house has spacious rooms with high ceilings, polished Kauri floors and fresh neutral toned decor.

At entry level are a central hallway, 2 double bedrooms, large living room (with open fireplace), another sitting area, big dining zone (with built-in banquette seating), open-plan gas kitchen and a large mosaic-tiled bathroom with a bath, separate shower and laundry facilities.

Filled with natural light due to French doors and wide windows, the entry level's L-shaped rear section opens onto the large entertainment deck and deep back garden with a sunny north-west aspect and large garden shed.

Upstairs are a huge main bedroom (with built-in wardrobe featuring Japanese-style doors), another double bedroom and a study area. Other features include skylights and traditional interior lining boards.

Ideal for homebuyers and investors, the property stands in a quiet street of the North Newtown precinct, a sought-after lifestyle location footsteps from Camperdown Memorial Rest Park and a short walk to the University of Sydney, RPA Hospital and King Street shops, cafes, restaurants and transport.
