3 bed, 2 x storey 1867 Original Glebe terrace on Sydney Uni’s Doorstep
Perfect for travellers, academics and active people who will appreciate getting such a great value inner city terrace in one of the worlds most expensive cities.
Offering access to the best the inner west can offer, this original 1867 workers terrace is a private 2 x storey oasis with modern furnishings, polished boards, internet and a leafy private courtyard.
Small original bathroom has new wide shower head, toilet and sink and there’s a second toilet in the laundry with new washing machine and dryer. It is located on the garden level at the back of the house, under the kitchen, and is only accessed by using your house key.
There’s a large leafy courtyard, a chefs gas oven, wifi (the password is on a magnet near the fridge), aircon in every room, polished boards, small TV, Juliette balcony off third study/bedroom and you’re only one minute walk to bus stops in all directions.
Being an inner-city terrace, we have complete privacy but are in close proximity to our neighbours, with whom we have a good relationship and mutual respect. Please do not give them cause to complain.
Glebe is a non-smoking environment, but please feel free to smoke in the courtyard garden and dispose of fully extinguished cigarette butts in the rubbish.
The attic is a private storage space that is not available for guests.
One minute walk to Sydney University and a short stroll to trendy Glebe cafes, pubs, Broadway shopping centre, Officeworks, Hoyts, bookshops, Seymour theatre, Victoria Park & pool, with public buses 50 metres from the doorstep. Buses take 3 to 5 minutes to get to UTS and central station in the CBD. In fact everything you need for a relaxing stay in the heart of everything Sydney has to offer is walking distance or a short bus ride away.

The kitchen was fully equipped and were we able to cook big meals very efficiently. I also loved access to a laundry and was able to clean and dry clothes when necessary.
As our planes arrived before check in time, our host let us check in earlier.The house had all that we needed, was comfortable and was close to local transport.It was lovely to have a small garden with plants and trees.The area was quiet and close to shops to buy supplies.
Lovely space, in a quiet location. Lots of natural light (even when it rained all weekend) and loved the courtyard space. Super comfortable beds and nice linen. Definitively recommend.
An absolute gem of a property. It was lovely to emerse ourselves in the Glebe area. Great location. The house had everything we needed.Check in and check out eas simple with great communication from the hosts.Thank you for the lovely stay.
Beautiful old terrace home, with lots of character.. easy to find. Great central spot for sightseeing. Clean & tidy.Lovely to find some staples to use, tea, coffee, sugar, oil, salt n pepper, vegemite & jam. Hosts were very responsive & quick to help out with an aircon issue. Could not have asked for more help.We were only there 5 days so no need for washer/dryer, but assuming under house?Fantastic place to relax & unwind. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you.
Thank you Annie and Peter. Warm, accommodating and responsive hosts. The apartment is very peaceful and beautiful, comfortable and well furnished. Really enjoyed our stay
Owner was great to communicate with and flexible about check in. Location is in nice neighborhood, very close to bus stop to Harbor area. Very nice cozy back yard patio; could use some newer outdoor furniture was only issue.
Would definitely stay here again.
A beautiful character home in a fantastic location
It was a beautiful character home that was homely and comfortable. Despite being inner city, it was peaceful and really quiet. Amazing location and super convenient to absolutely everything. Lovely restaurants closeby
We felt very comfortable in the house. It was quite clean and tidy. The location was very good, but still quiet.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property could have been much cleaner. There were dead cockroaches on the floor of one bedroom and false eyelashes and fingernails on the floor of the shower
Fantastic for a few days in the city. Close to Glebe”s best spots and the house is well appointed with no problems parking. Would recommended and will be back.

Fantastic location so handy for central station, House was comfortable and very homely...lots of throws to cuddle into.We were travelling so the washer and dryer were essential for us. Everything we needed in cuboards and cooker was great. We had a problem at check in but Anna quickly sorted and all was fine. We would definetly choose this property again to stay in Sydney,
Nice place; however, if you are driving, be sure you have a place to park before booking. The extra toilet is located outside and downstairs in a little room with the washer and dryer. The accommodations are clean and have ample kitchen utensils.
This was a very cool home. Well equipped and very comfortable spaces. Check in was super easy. I liked the neighborhood location and easy access to harbor areas. We used ride share a lot and reasonable distance to the areas we wanted to visit.

Why they chose this property
I lived in this cute, sun filled terrace for ten years while attending Sydney Uni and working in the local theatre scene. I loved how it provided a private oasis right next door to the University, allowing me and my flat mates the opportunity to walk to Broadway to shop, to cafes and cinemas, to Newtown and the city, which are all within a stones throw of the front door. The terrace is fresh and clean I lived in this cute, sun filled terrace that is a family property for ten years while attending Sydney Uni snd UTS and loved how it provided a private oasis right next door to the University, allowing me to walk to Broadway, to cafes in Glebe and Newtown and catch buses to the city within a stones throw of my front door. In fact, the city is only 3 minutes drive away. The terrace is fresh and clean, offering everything you would need for a comfortable short term or long term stay in Sydney.
What makes this property unique
Location! Access to public transport and Sydney University only 2 mins walk away. Three bedrooms with a private balcony and leafy courtyard for entertaining, plus free wifi.
