26 Gurner Street, Paddington, NSW

JUST SOLD The auction is coming up and it should be well attended. 45 years in one family suggests the location is excellent. The basics seem good as far as width, land size, and aspect is concerned. A full renovation is required with many structural changes as the floorplan flow is old school with no living/dining opening up at the rear into the north-facing courtyard and parking. Upstairs is an unusual flow of smaller rooms towards the back and this may become a bedroom WIR and ensuite possibly. More bathrooms need to be added but in a total gut and rebuilt this is no issue as the price guide seems to reflect the current state of the home. The rear yard has room for parking and a garden subject to the size of the rear extension. Parking and renovation is subject to council approval of course but there is no major tree blocking car access and a lip is already in the gutter suggesting parking used to be in place. Other terraces in the row have parking including both neighbours but need to check whether parking is allowed in the rear lane as may inhibit access. Inspections suggest no parking allowed in the rear lane near this parking access but it's worth checking. The location is brilliant being near Edgecliff Station and shops as well as a 5-minute walk to Five Ways and a slightly longer walk up the hill to Oxford St as well as the Queen St shops. The road itself is medium as far as traffic is concerned with buses as well, however more and more of these are becoming hydrogen-powered and talking to neighbours, they don't seem to notice them. They also stop at night. Lots of possibilities for this terrace so a great project for someone.
