A fresh take on classic weatherboard charm, this freestanding cottage is tucked away in a leafy spot equidistant to the cosmopolitan buzz of Norton Street and Petersham Park's historic cricket oval and open-air pool. Feel-good interiors with a great layout and easy indoor/outdoor flow create a tranquil retreat from the fast pace of city living with a private garden sanctuary framed by lush greenery and featuring rear lane access to a lock-up garage. Bright and airy interiors with an inviting coastal vibe make for easy living but it's the potential here that will really capture your imagination with scope for a second level addition as well as room for a pool in the lush backyard (STCA). Perfect for the urbanite who desires a sense of sanctuary, the three-bedroom home is 600m to Norton Plaza and Fort Street High School and a short stroll to everything from cafes and Pilates studios to pocket parks.
