21 Fitzroy Street, Newtown, NSW 2042

Just 50 metres from Hollis Park, this superb corner holding of 186.2 sqm offers two pristine residences to use individually or adapt to unite into one family home (subject to Council approval). Built in the 19th Century, this pair of maisonettes - translation: 'little houses' - present as elegant two-bedroom residences with near-identical floorplans and equally rich in period design elements. No. 21 at ground-level claims the private courtgarden, while 21A features a fabulous rooftop entertaining area with panoramic views. Classic maisonettes of this calibre are extremely rare to find in the inner west - the only other example we can think of are the ones right next door. Our two residences are selling as one, offering the option of earning income from both, or living in one and leasing out the other. It is also ripe for remodelling, where the addition of an internal staircase will convert it into a four-bedroom family home (subject to Council approval) which you can upgrade to suit your taste. This is a prime North Newtown address, only 100 metres from the colour and flavour of King Street, while providing easy access to shops, schools, universities, South Eveleigh precinct and the city.
