The inspired reinvention of one of Erskineville's signature Federation cottages delivers an alluring fusion of heritage architecture and innovative design in one of the area's most tightly held cul-de-sacs. Built c1910 and set on a family friendly avenue that lives up to its name, the freestanding family home has undergone an imaginative redesign by award-winning architects Welsh + Major that links the old with the new via a two-storey pavilion style extension designed to embrace a gorgeous walled garden. Designed to capture sunshine throughout the day, open living space incorporates a sleek island kitchen while double-height ceilings and highlight windows frame curated vistas and bring in the northerly light. A dynamic design caters to the changing patterns of family life with an upper level parents' retreat and a self-contained studio with a private entry ideal as au pair accommodation, teen retreat or an income earner. In a tucked-away enclave where homes rarely trade, this community minded neighbourhood is just 450m to the station and 400m to South King Street's urban buzz with no through-traffic. <br/><br/>- Wide tree-lined cul-de-sac, tessellated-tile verandah entry<br/>- 3 large bedrooms and a self-contained 30sqm approx studio <br/>- Upper level main with a walk-in robe and designer ensuite<br/>- Classic high ceilings, original fireplace, hardwood floorboards<br/>- Entertainer's kitchen with Euro appliances and a 3m island<br/>- Dining with skylit double height ceilings, designer lighting <br/>- Light-filled open living with custom media cabinetry <br/>- Bi-folds to a sunny walled garden, a lush backyard retreat <br/>- Architect-designed studio with private entry, multiple uses<br/>- 3 bathrooms, ensuite with a bath, European appointments<br/>- Reverse air, gallery style art hanging system, auto skylights<br/>- Lock-up garage via Smiths Lane, 17sqm storage loft<br/>- Stroll to cafes and pubs, 500m to Erskineville Public School<br/>- Newtown High School of the Performing Arts catchment<br/>- 400m to South King Street's eclectic shopping and dining scene<br/>- Rates: Water $233pq, Council $472pq (All approx.) <br/><br/>Contact Shaun Stoker 0424 172 217 <br/>Matthew Carvalho 0404 006 744 <br/><br/>Our recommended mortgage broker: Tommy Nguyen (https://broker.loanmarket.com.au/double-bay/about/tommy-nguyen/)
