47 Station Street

A neighbourhood landmark on the corner of Station and Don Streets, this eminent home will attract both artists and families. Owned since 1970, it is part of the legacy of Dr Robert Mitchell and the late Denis Condon who were custodians of a piano roll collection of global renown. Over decades, five reproducing pianos entertained 100s of guests in the stunning upstairs salon. The building itself is a marvel of design, preserving a turn-of-the-century frontage, restoring Victorian-era rooms in exquisite detail, then evolving with modern principles into a rear extension with steel frames and seamless outdoor connectivity. Behind its high walls is an award-winning, sunny court garden with European influences – a sanctuary from Newtown's hurly burly. As a family home, it balances work and life beautifully, with a layout that is highly versatile, providing multiple living areas and three or four bedrooms – two with ensuites – plus a study. Rare for Newtown, there is a double garage with workshop, and a studio/retreat overlooking the garden. This home is perfectly curated for anyone who wants to make the most of Sydney's liveliest nightlife around King Street and Enmore Road, where the city's artist, live music and foodie communities all mix with bustling energy.
