3-bedroom Oasis home with botanical garden in the heart of cool Newtown
Designed with only the most sophisticated travellers in mind, this terraced house is a Newtown oasis just waiting to be discovered. A luxurious interior surrounds a lush botanical courtyard, offering more than simple convenience. The artistic touches and fine furnishings of this desirable home render it the ideal base for a short or long stay in this trendy 'burb.
The spacious interior boasts a sumptuous ground-floor living space, divided into four glorious rooms. The atmospheric main living room, filled with books, curios and leather armchairs, is reminiscent of the comfort of artists' members clubs forming the perfect space to wind down and relax in front of the TV. If you're looking for a more social entertaining space, this amazing home boasts a second living room. From here you can access the botanical courtyard. Put on a vinyl, throw open the bifolding doors and spill into your sanctuary overflowing with plants for a suave and relaxing escape.
In the middle of this home you'll find a full kitchen, stocked with all you would need for a comfortable stay. Overlooked by an architectural mezzanine landing, this home is flooded with natural light, spilling through to the formal dining for up to 6 guests. The upper floors of this glorious home-away-from-home conceal three spacious bedrooms over two levels. The palatial master is a gorgeous mix of old and new, with a scandi four poster juxtaposing a traditional fireplace.You'll also have access to a private balcony and ensuite with a freestanding bath. The second and third bedrooms are equally delightful and share a family bathroom. There is a further cloakroom on the ground floor. This beautiful, botanical home delivers not only on space, but is unbeaten on style.
In the heart of Newtown this home is a fabulous base for short or long stays. Explore the densely clustered offering of bars, restaurants, cafe and pubs, from cheap student dining offering pad Thai for under a tenner, to high-end restaurants from celebrated chefs that are dotted along King Street or wait until after dark to delve into the alluring nightlife scene that is the heart of this area. There is ample choice for the epicurious, but we must mention, GiGi's for some of the best pizza we've tasted, followed by a couple of drinks at Bar Planet, locals' favourite, just a short walk away.

The Neighbourhood

The location is great in terms of access to transit and restaurants, cafes, shops etc. there’s some evening noise, but nothing crazy. The home itself feels quite busy and lived in within the common areas (some would find cozy, others may find cluttered), then much more clean, open and untouched on the bedroom levels. I definitely wouldn’t recommend for young children as there’s no space for them to play and lots of fragile things we had to put away.
