Commanding attention with the neighbourhood’s prettiest facade, this instantly endearing home enjoys a privileged address on a secluded street in sought-after North Newtown. With an original and rare two-story rear, Brocante’ has also been stylishly renovated and creatively enhanced throughout, revealing a wealth of period character and charm.

From its striking two-tone bullnose verandah, to its Parisian-inspired private courtyard, it is enchanting. Chic lime-washed original floorboards, high ceilings, imported and antique fixtures, and an abundance of light can be found in every room. The central lounge is generously proportioned and steps down to the large eat-in chef’s kitchen that is the home’s heart, beautifully appointed with stainless benchtops, integrated dishwasher and freestanding cooker with gas cooktop. Double French doors lead directly to the delightful covered terrace and sun-drenched courtyard, perfect for entertaining.

The generous bedrooms are split across two levels, with a private master retreat and adjoining study/sunroom on the upper floor. A spacious, designer family bathroom features stunning bespoke elements and spa bath. The residence also benefits from prized rear lane access and secure parking, plus an external laundry with powder room. Other extras include ducted heating, plantation shutters and ample attic storage. This dream location is a short stroll to rail, CarriageWorks and Eveleigh Farmers’ Market, leafy Hollis Park, Sydney University, buzzing Erskineville village and Newtown’s bustling King Street with its cafes and boutiques.
