A tiny terrace in a hip Sydney suburb packs a punch with its floorplan.
At just 88.5 square metres, 17 Chelmsford Street in Newtown manages to fit three bedrooms and two bathrooms into the space, along with a rear courtyard.
By comparison, the average floor area of new residential dwellings in New South Wales is 239.4 square metres, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Based on the data, at least two Sydney homes could fit into the Newtown terrace.
The property sold on October 24 for $2,065,000 and is on the books of Nicholas and Jonathan Viewey of Viewey Real Estate.
The ground floor contains one bedroom, the kitchen and breakfast bar, the living zone, laundry and porch.
Two generously-sized, additional bedrooms, one of which is the master, are located on the upper floor. There is a bathroom on each level.
The kitchen and living zone leads out onto a chic courtyard with an outdoor barbecue.
