1920's Newtown warehouse chasing $2.5 million at auction

A 1920's Newtown warehouse that doesn't look much from the outside, is set to bring in around $2.5 million at upcoming auction.

A three bedroom extension was completed last year to the converted warehouse which traded for $1.2 million in 2012.

Despite the renovations, original features such as exposed timber beams, painted brick walls and polished concrete floors have been maintained.

The original brick facade on the outside of the property has been dressed up with decorative steel panels.

Sitting on 283 sqm, the four bedroom house also comes with a covered deck and a level lawn.

Located 100 metres from St Peters Station, one of the property's four bathrooms features a stand alone bath and a rain shower.

Nick Playfair and Chris Nunn of BresicWhitney has the listing of 1a Lord Street.

There is a price guide of $2.5 million for the February 13 auction. 

According to CoreLogic RP Data, Newtown has a median house price of $1.265 million.
