The meticulous revival of this elegant Victorian villa has breathed light, life and vitality into a parkside treasure in an idyllic setting offering a taste of country like tranquility in one of Erskineville's top spots. A labour of love, the two-storey terrace has been rebuilt from the ground up and is one of only a handful of homes with direct access to picturesque Solander Park with the lush park grounds as a virtual extension of its private north-east facing backyard. The focus of the redesign highlights functionality, light and an honest expression of materials with heritage features salvaged from the site and repurposed to preserve the home's history and sense of place complemented by carefully selected artisan finishes as homage to the home's original craftsmanship. The result is a warm and inviting family home embraced by nature with greenery all around and just 150m to local favourites including Naked Brew and Bitton Cafe. On one of Erskineville's finest streets, 500m to the village hub, this is a perfect spot for families an easy walk down to Erskineville Public School and St Mary's Catholic Primary and 800m to The Backyard at The Alex.
