As soon as you step into this creative living space, you'll feel the streamlined easy-living vibe, as this modern high-calibre residence has some serious architectural smarts, and is soon to be featured in the forthcoming Local Projects book "Architects at Home". The natural light is excellent, the design is user-friendly, and the layout is perfect for easy in/outdoor entertaining.
The home has an attractive heritage facade that spans a 5.18m frontage along Leichhardt Street, and inside it's been crafted for stylish flair and flexible living with an emphasis on alfresco entertaining. Light streams through galvanised floor-to-ceiling windows by Michael Leonitsis, with pivoting steel doors that open into a north-northwest facing garden where dappled sunshine filters through all year.
Outside you can entertain in complete privacy and enjoy a tranquil oasis with a paved dining space. There's even a custom-built home office/studio plus an extra bedroom suite and an auto lock-up garage, with enough room for a vehicle, two bikes, a motorbike and other storage, with secure access from Stewart Street at the rear.
The marble-finished kitchen anchors the interior space, fitted with premium stainless-steel appliances and Astra Walker brass tapware and rails. The Philips Hue smart lighting system enhances the mood with app and motion-sensor control, easily reverted to standard if preferred.
Upstairs there are two beautifully proportioned bedrooms including the master with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and striking wall cover art by Heidi James. Council DA approved plans to extend to a third floor encompassing fourth bedroom and ensuite, as well as large west-facing bay window in master bedroom, also come with the property.
Perfectly placed just a 3-minute stroll from Blackwattle Bay and the F10 ferry to Barangaroo, and only 12 minutes' walk to the new Sydney Fish Market, this is an exceptional home that celebrates design, light and lifestyle.
