This timber home is in one of Sydney's oldest neighbourhoods, built originally as a cottage in 1876 and updated over the years. The house is filled with character but does express its age in some unique ways, including creaky floorboards and some uneven angles around the corners. The house is at the end of a quiet street in a lovely residential neighbourhood, surrounded by parks and green space. Two bedrooms feature single beds with some storage and one bedroom contains a queen bed and extensive closet space. We can add an extra single bed to the main living space and put up draw curtains, that can make it a fourth, spacious, bedroom. The house normally accommodates two teenagers but we are happy to help make the house comfortable for smaller kids if need be. The back of the house has a kitchen, sitting room, and dining room, filled with afternoon sun. There is a large garden, often filled with flowers and vegetables. There is a beehive on the roof in the back. The bees tend to keep to themselves up there but can occasionally come into the garden, so someone with a bee allergy may like to take extra precautions. The house is about a 20 minute walk to the University of Sydney and a bit further to UTS. There are small shops and a few grocery stores within a walking distance, and also several busses nearby. There are a few walking paths just next to the house. One of these leads through a few parks and within 15 minutes or so you reach the Tramsheds (shopping and dining complex) and then Glebe foreshore. The foreshore path leads in a few directions, allowing for several kilomotres of walking or biking -- all the way to the Opera House (and beyond) if you like!
