Surry Hills is one of Sydney’s inner east suburbs that, despite massive gentrification, still retains a strong sense of community and a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. It’s a place where established pubs and hip small bars sit alongside designer stores and celebrated restaurants such as Chin Chin, Nomad and Firedoor. Voted Sydney’s second coolest street in TimeOut in June, the central strip of Crown Street is where you’ll find institutions like The Clock Hotel and discover record stores, design stores and independent boutiques. There’s an eclectic mix of top-notch restaurants and casual eateries with a bevy of bars in between so you really don’t have to venture far for a night out.

Our Surry Hills specialist Nicholas Charles has three fantastic properties on the market, each with unique appeal and in very different parts of the suburb. Launched last week, 613 Bourke Street, Surry Hills is a radical reinvention of a classic Victorian terrace that captures the essence of inner city cool. Spread over three levels with a separate home office studio, the high-spec terrace showcases the award-winning design principles of Aileen Sage Architects, winner of the AIA Emerging Architects Prize in 2018. Nicholas says, “Not only is this terrace architecturally striking, beautifully finished and incredibly flexible in its design, but it’s located in the very best part of Surry Hills, just up from Bourke Street Bakery and opposite Arthur’s and one block back from the buzz of Crown Street.”

On the other side of Crown Street, 32 Little Riley Street, Surry Hills is tucked away in an historic laneway with the pulse of city living at the doorstep. Nicholas says, ‘This is the perfect spot for young professionals looking for that blend of city convenience along with a village lifestyle. The tri level terrace has been fully renovated with an attic level third bedroom that’s perfect as a home office.”

Buyers looking for a high-end designer apartment with a house-like feel should check out 403/228 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills in the landmark Golf House, on the site of the former iconic Sharpie’s Golf House. A collaboration between PTI Architecture and Collette Dinningan, the two-bedroom apartment with a serious style pedigree is opposite Belmore Park and Central Station where the upcoming Atlassian hybrid timber tower will herald a new government-planned tech hub. 

All three Surry Hills properties, as well as our other listings below, will be available for inspection by pre-booked inspection with all social distancing procedures in place. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our agents for further information.
