Young Street is wide, quiet and leafy with ample parking. Though number 271 does not have off street parking, the stretch of Young Street on which the house is located is particularly quiet so parking is never a problem. There are no time or permit restrictions on parking.
Young Street is named after John Young who developed Annandale in the late 1800s. John Young was a businessman, architect and mayor. He bought the majority of a subdivided estate owned by the Johnston family and formed a land and building company to develop it in 1877. As well as being responsible for shaping Annandale as a “Model Township”, John Young built a series of unique and recognisable houses on Johnston Street – The Abbey and a row of four so-called 'witches' houses' with tall narrow facades and spires that overlook the bay.
