143 Abercrombie Street, Darlington

An ideal choice for keen renovators or investors, this substantial 4.5 metre wide two-storey Victorian terrace presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a property in a convenient location.

At the end of a row of three terraces, it has large rooms with polished timber floorboards, 3.4 metre high ceilings and period features including picture rails and open fireplaces.

Standing on a deep block with a level courtyard garden at the rear, the house has enormous potential for a creative makeover or transformation to a modern home.

At entry level is a hallway leading to interconnected sitting and dining rooms (both with open fireplaces), a spacious gas kitchen (with walk-in pantry) and a laundry opening to the level garden with brick paving and stone-walled garden beds.

Upstairs are three large double bedrooms, a neat white tiled bathroom (with a bath and separate shower) and a linen cupboard in the hallway.

Set on the north-west side of the street, and in block between Vine and Cleveland streets, the property is within easy walking distance of the University of Sydney, UTS, Victoria Park and train stations at Redfern and Central.

For investors, this terrace is a solid investment prospect with immediate rental returns; while owner occupies will recognise value in the size of the house and its renovation potential.
