13 Little Napier Street, Paddington NSW 2021

Heritage charm and urban convenience combine in this chic Victorian terrace to create a tranquil inner city haven. Tucked away in a delightful mews-like enclave in Paddington's arts hub, it's set in a pedestrian-only laneway behind Oxford Street's theatres and the College of Fine Arts. Part of a tightly held precinct dotted with charming community gardens and featuring a distinctive heritage streetscape, it offers a peaceful retreat from its fast-paced city surrounds.

Tastefully updated retaining its vintage appeal, it faces north and features fluid living and dining with a fireplace and polished timber floors; modern kitchen opening to a private walled courtyard; two double bedrooms with built-ins; skylit loft retreat or ideal study; main bed with French doors to a sunny north facing balcony; skylit bathroom with a bath; and a separate laundry. Footsteps to caf?s, galleries and bookstores, it's just across the road from Glenmore Road's high-end boutiques.
