78 Hordern Street, Newtown

Set just 240 metres from the pulse of King Street, this outstanding home evokes comfort and ease over a flowing design catering for family living with a tendency for the occasional party. Beyond the original 1930s facade is actually a 1990s constructed freestanding brick building, smartly conceived to feel like an oversized Newtown terrace while inviting in unique levels of natural light. Balanced over formal and casual zones, generous living space extends from the front door, through the archway and beyond the gourmet kitchen, to the quiet outdoor retreat cocooned in privacy. All ground-level and upstairs front windows are acoustically engineered, so you can play music or chat animatedly with friends until the early hours without anyone knowing. Exquisite without pretension, this is a fine rendition of Inner West living with incredible location benefits, with one of Newtown's favourite local pubs on the corner of King St, and myriads of cafes, restaurants and live music venues at your feet. Parks, buses and trains, schools, RPA Hospital and Sydney Uni are all within walking distance.
