5/146 Boundary Street, Paddington, NSW 2021

THE DEAL
Some homes shout. This one just gets on with it.
Set within Othello - a tightly held boutique security building on the Paddington side of Boundary Street- this one-bedroom apartment is proof that the best things in the East come in small, well-considered packages.

Inside, it's clean-lined and light-filled, with approximately 25sqm of space and the kind of proportions that make a one-bedder feel like a proper home rather than a stopover. Open living flows to a sleek kitchen, the bedroom is a genuine retreat, and the bathroom is crisp, contemporary and done. Nothing to fix. Nothing to fuss over. Just move in and start living.

Then step outside and remember why you wanted Paddington in the first place. Oxford Street is at the end of the block. Five Ways, Darlinghurst's cafés, wine bars and galleries are a stroll away. Kings Cross Station and the light rail have the city sorted, and Bondi is a bus ride when the weekend calls.

SEALS THE DEAL 
Whether you're a first-home buyer who refuses to compromise on postcode, a downsizer who wants the lock-up-and-leave lifestyle, or an investor who knows a blue-chip rental when they see one- this is the entry point into 2021 that people wait years for. Paddington doesn't do many of these. Don't overthink it.
