Apartment for rent in historic building a short bus ride to Sydney CBD

Description

This one bedroom apartment is ideal for those wanting good pubic transport access to the city, peaceful environment to work in and walking distance to two completely different vibrant shopping precincts. The bus stop is a five-minute walk and takes you directly to Sydney University (13 minutes) and UTS (20 minutes). The Ashfield and Summer Hill train stations are each about 15 minutes walk. The bedroom is comfortable, plenty of storage space for clothes and suitcase and a small balcony tucked away through the French doors. The kitchen, recently remodelled, is small but designed for those who enjoy cooking. The living/dining area is where you work, relax and eat. I have designed three working spaces because that’s the way I like it: table, full-length built-in lounge and a small built-in lounge on the back balcony. There’s a mobile laptop computer desk. The bathroom is clean, has a rainfall shower but otherwise modest. There is a laundry area with plenty of bench space hidden behind panel glides. The house has its own garden including a herb garden and there is a small shaded park out front. The Arundel mansion was built in 1880 for a former Premier of NSW and is now divided into eight one-bedroom flats. It sits halfway between the Summer Hill and Ashfield shopping precincts and train stations, both a 10-15 minute walk through shaded streets, old mansions and parks. Summer Hill has a fancy upmarket supermarket, French pastries and Italian restaurants. Ashfield is the epicentre of Asian restaurants, fresh Asian produce and fabulous Indian supermarket. There’s a lot of choice and a great walk to be had.
