A statement design suits this landmark, blue chip location.
Set next to Newtown’s landmark station, this architecturally designed home at 273 Pakington St, Newtown pays a respectful nod to its neighbour while leaving its own contemporary mark.
The exterior design and colours of the four-bedroom home complement the historic circa 1884 Newtown and Chilwell Fire Station building, while the interior offers something fresh and impressive in its own right.

When the owner, Daniel Glogolja, bought the property in 2016 it was a blank canvas.
“The location attracted us initially. At the time, it was just a block of land, but we knew it was a rare opportunity to build in such a sought-after pocket,” Mr Glogolja said.
“We could see the potential to create a home that made the most of the elevated outlook, while being within walking distance of the cafes, shops and lifestyle that make the area so special.”
The four-bedroom house at 273 Pakington St, Newtown, is listed for sale with price hopes from $1.95m to $2.1m.
There are multiple living areas designed into to the two-storey residence close to Newtown’s Pakington St shopping village.
Mr Glogolja worked closely with Another Dimension Building Design to bring the vision, which he describes as “a modern, contemporary family home”, to life.
Standout modern features of the home include vaulted ceilings, light-filled spaces, concrete flooring, and industrial-grade, large-paned double glazing, along with its floorplan.
The home is set over two levels, with the kitchen, dining, living and guest bedroom on the ground floor, and the three main bedrooms and an additional lounge on the first floor. This flexible layout provides a significant benefit to a range of buyers.
“The property will appeal to a wide range of buyers, from families looking for space and flexibility to professional couples and downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home without compromising on style or location,” Mr Glogolja said.
A deep tub makes a statement in the main bathroom.
Bedrooms offer picture windows.
“Currently, this home is lived in by our family: my partner, myself, our two children and our much-loved family dog. It’s a busy, happy home that suits our lifestyle perfectly.”
Another feature families or those who enjoy entertaining will appreciate is the low-maintenance indoor-outdoor living.
“With multiple outdoor and indoor living areas and easy-care gardens, it’s a home that adapts effortlessly to different stages of life while offering a vibrant lifestyle in a sought-after neighbourhood,” Mr Glogolja explained.
“Step outside and you’ll find three distinct outdoor zones. The cosy entertainment area is perfect for barbecues.
The kitchen is a convenient hub with plenty of benchspace and connections for home entertainment.
A covered patio adds to the attraction for family living.
“At the front of the home, the sitting area has a vibrant atmosphere, where you can soak up the energy of the surrounding precinct.
“The side lawn provides additional space for children or pets or to simply admire the character of the historic old fire brigade building.”
