Description of the home we are offering for exchange
For a Northern hemisphere Spring/summer/autumn,simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchange.
A beautiful, 2 storey, "Iron lace balcony" Terrace Row House in the "Paris" area of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
Paddington is the major art gallery suburb of Sydney, famous for its heritage terrace houses, fashion outlets and Saturday village craft market.
The house has a double lounge area entry , an open plan kitchen with a dining-living room opening onto a garden courtyard.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms, one larger balcony room and one smaller room next to the shared bathroom.
A Car swap is available for simultaneous exchanges only. We advise two to three day trips rather than extensive country touring as it is an older model (2001) Subaru Impreza.
