Paddington is synonymous with the elegant Victorian terraces that line the fashionable streets with their pretty lacework facades and period detailing giving them plenty of charm and making them among the most coveted real estate in Sydney. With the proximity to the city, parks and beaches as well as great schools, Paddington is perfect for young families and now is a great time to buy in this connected pocket of the east with a great range to choose and plenty of off-market opportunities.

Paddington specialist William Hesketh says, “Paddington has and always will be a fantastic place to live and Oxford Street is in the middle of a major rejuvenation that will breathe new life into one of Australia’s most famous streets with the Oxford & Foley activated laneway serving as a catalyst for growth. This means that now is a perfect time to buy in the area and Victorian terraces each have their own unique flair so there’s always plenty of scope to flex your creative muscles and play around with layouts and interiors to design something special.”
