22 Gibbes Street, Newtown, NSW 2042

The elegant portico entry and ornate facade of this Italianate style terrace makes a lasting first impression but it's the streamlined architect-designed interiors, north-facing backyard oasis and tranquil setting that make it such a great place to live. In a historic row of fine terraces designed by acclaimed architect of the day Charles Robert Summerhayes in 1896, the three-bedroom home is set in a  boutique cul-de-sac renowned as one of Newtown's best neighbourhoods just 300m to South King Street and 350m to Erskineville village. Interiors have been opened out to bring in the northerly sunshine with a pared back palette of timber, stone and glass that captures the essence of metro style. Designed for easy indoor/outdoor living, the rear opens out to a sunny flagstone courtyard framed by mature jacaranda that delivers a purple haze in spring and creates a close connection with nature. On a wide no-through street around the corner from Newtown Public School, this is a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle yet just 300m to the station and a world of art, fashion and entertainment.
