The two-bedroom, one-bathroom terrace at 6 Wentworth Street, Paddington, last sold for $1.72 million in 2019 and has since been rented out.
Located in a quiet cul-de-sac near Queen Street’s cafes, the former worker’s cottage sits on 141 square metres and offers a blend of heritage charm and modern updates.

Listing agents Chris Helich and Zach Carter of PPD Real Estate describe the property as a wide-fronted terrace tucked away in a charming mews-like enclave at the top end of Paddington village on the cusp of Woollahra.
Dating back to the 1840s, the single-storey home is built around a central courtyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Original features include soaring 3.3-metre ceilings, French doors, and two fireplaces, one of which is in the main bedroom that opens onto the front verandah.

The second bedroom leads to another courtyard, and a bathroom, separate laundry, and open-plan kitchen and dining area complete the home.
Domain reported that Hutchence owned the property in the 1980s while living with his then-partner Michelle Bennett. He reportedly sold the home in 1995, but much of its original character remains intact.

According to the listing, the home offers future potential for a second storey, subject to council approval, bringing it in line with neighbouring properties.
