Offbeat and on the pulse, Newtown is the municipal and cultural heart of the inner west renowned for its bohemian energy and thriving arts and music scene drawing an ever-growing number of professionals and young families. Ranking high in liveablity thanks to its proximity to the city and excellent transport links, Newtown is home to the University of Sydney and RPA Hospital as well as being a haven for emerging and established designers. The action is centred along the stretch of King Street where you’ll find everything from acclaimed eateries and backstreet bars to cinemas and live music venues. We have a choice of family sized homes in two of the best spots in the suburb.

Sean Poche’s listing at 45 Queen Street, Newtown is part of the Newtown North precinct on the edge of the Sydney University campus and just 450m to Carriageworks. The 7m wide Torrens-tile terrace is surrounded by leafy greenery with a family friendly three-bedroom layout and a lock-up garage. Sean says, “This is a perfect alterative to a traditional Victorian terrace with all the benefits of a modern build and a lovely outdoor area that captures the afternoon sun. We’re seeing plenty of interest from young couples and families who are looking to live close to the action but desire a sense of sanctuary. It’s in a fantastic spot with the buzz of King Street at the top of the street, Carriageworks around the corner and just 500m to Macdonaldtown station for an easy commute to the CBD.”

Last week, Anthony Puntigam listed a two-storey semi at 86 Newman Street, Newtown that’s tucked away just behind Erskineville village. Anthony says, “This family friendly pocket of Newtown is one of the most sought-after but it’s the northerly sunshine and wonderful sense of privacy that give this three-bedroom terrace a winning edge. Urbanites will love the proximity to the eclectic energy of King Street and with Woolies Metro around the corner and the station just 250m away it really does offer that ideal blend of village living and walk everywhere convenience.”

Both these homes will be open to view tomorrow with 86 Newman Street open from 12.15-12.45pm and 45 Queen Street open from 2.00pm-2.30pm so why not head to the Carriageworks Farmers Markets before checking them out and heading out for a bite to eat or a spot of retail therapy.

This week the sales team secured 20 sales with an average price of $2.4m and listed 29 new properties and the management team secured 13 tenancies and listed 17 new properties for lease.
