Paddington Charm

What We Love

Paddington Charm is a three bedroom Victorian terrace over two levels on Underwood Street in Paddington, Sydney, with one full bathroom, a separate downstairs toilet, two living areas and a leafy private courtyard with BBQ. It sleeps up to 6 guests across a queen bedroom with Juliet balcony and two double bedrooms, one with its own private balcony, with ceiling fans in every bedroom, individual electric heaters and a laundry with washer and dryer. Street parking only.

It suits families and groups of friends wanting a village base close to Oxford Street, corporate guests needing wifi and easy access to the CBD, and longer stays, with a full kitchen, dishwasher and laundry.

Ground Floor
Polished timber floors and high ceilings with ornate detailing set an elegant tone. The front living room retains its Victorian character, with an original fireplace and period details, and flows through to a second living space connecting to the kitchen and courtyard. Tall windows fill the rooms with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen has white cabinetry, marble surfaces, a gas oven, dishwasher, microwave and full-size fridge, and opens to the dining area, which looks out over the bamboo-lined courtyard. Out the back, bamboo screening and lush tropical planting create a secluded garden with a BBQ. A separate toilet is also on this level.

Upper Level
All three bedrooms are upstairs, each with a ceiling fan, blinds, high ceilings and timber floors. The main bedroom has a queen bed, built-in storage and a Juliet balcony. The second bedroom has a double bed and leads to a private balcony, perfect for reading in the afternoon sun. The third bedroom has a double bed. The full bathroom on this level has a bath, shower, toilet and vanity, and the laundry with washer and dryer is also upstairs.

The Neighbourhood

• Paddington Living: Paddington is one of Sydney's most characterful inner-city villages, with Victorian terraces trimmed in iron lace and converted warehouses housing contemporary galleries. Paddington Markets fill the church grounds on Oxford Street every Saturday with local designers, artisans and vintage finds, and Queen Street in neighbouring Woollahra is lined with boutiques, dining and art galleries.
• Dining & Coffee: Padre Coffee draws the morning crowd for expertly made coffee and breakfast, while Tuckerbox on Underwood Street is a handy corner café. Ursula's Paddington showcases chef Phil Wood's seasonal cooking, and 10 William St pairs Italian-inspired dishes with an extraordinary wine list. The Paddington and the Four in Hand each offer their own take on contemporary Australian pub dining, from casual to sophisticated.
• Culture & Shopping: The Intersection on Oxford Street brings together some of Australia's leading fashion labels among Victorian architecture, and independent boutiques and galleries line the surrounding side streets.
• Day Trips: Centennial Park is perfect for morning runs, cycling and weekend picnics beneath the fig trees. The CBD, Circular Quay, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are an easy bus or car trip away. Bondi Beach is about 15 minutes east, or explore the harbour foreshore at Rose Bay and Double Bay.

Buses along Oxford Street connect you to the CBD and Bondi Junction, and Uber and GoGet car share are readily available.
