13 Wilson Lane, Darlington NSW 2008

We won't sugar-coat it - this terrace needs a total overhaul - but look at the location! Nestled into a quiet corner of super-convenient Darlington, this compact home is the opportunity you have been dreaming of.

With stacks of original features, including sandstock bricks, fireplaces and ornate cornices, it just needs some imagination and style to help it realise its potential. Perfect for first-home buyers or savvy renovators looking for an exciting new project.

Featuring a classic layout, the terrace is almost the last remaining unrenovated terrace in this sought-after enclave. It is set out on two levels, with the possibility of a third (Subject to Council Approval). The front door opens into the living room, complete with fireplace, followed by a separate dining space (also with original fireplace) that leads through to the kitchen and bathroom. There is an easy-care courtyard at the rear.

Upstairs there is a double bedroom at the front, with a smaller room that could be easily converted into a second bedroom. A ladder leads to a generous attic space that might be used for storage or home office space, or even a third storey, like its neighbours.

Set amongst renovated period properties, it's in a whisper-quiet location with on-street parking, but still close to all the amenities including Sydney University, Redfern village and train station, as well as Carriageworks and its famous weekend produce market.
