Rich with charisma and positioned to perfection, this thoroughly transformed prize strikes a brilliant balance of classical and contemporary, weaving inter-war provenance and renovated ease into the vibrancy for which the inner west is so beloved.
Private, quiet and secure behind its picket fence, the home is its own peaceful retreat away from noise and bustle. Ornate ceilings and cornices, picture rails and decorative brickwork headline the array of details keeping character the centrepiece, while a smartly worked, cleverly adaptable layout proves as perfect for a family as downsizers and professionals. A wealth of robe space joins a revamped bathroom in serving three oversized bedrooms, while a garden backdrop brings a touch of calm to considerable living and kitchen/meals spaces.
Set back from the street and removed from thoroughfares, a broad rear courtyard is great for Sunday barbecues and drinks on summer evenings, while thriving natives anchor flourishing gardens at the core of the home’s identity. Comfortable without a thing to do, other highlights include hydronic heating, split-system heating/cooling, ceiling fans, hardwood floors, plantation shutters, a combined laundry/second toilet, heat-pump hot water, roof storage and a new, secure driveway.
